All  the  plates  from  specimens  in  the  British  Museum  are  from  photographs  b) 
Mr.  Donald  Macbeth,  London,  made  with  the  kind  permission  of  the  Trustees. 
Mr.  Macbeth  also  executed  the  three  photogravure  plates.

photographs  issued  by  the  Trustees  of  the  Vidoria  and  Albert  Museum,  and  repro- 
duced with  their  kind  permission. 

All  the  other  plates  are  from  photographs  made  by  the  author,  excepting  the 
frontispiece,  which  is  from  a  photograph  made  by  Messrs.  Miles  and  Kaye,  London, 
from  the  author's  specimen;  and  No.  72,  the  block  of  which  was  purchased  from

INTRODUCTORY  NOTE 


N  the  latter  part  of  19 13,  the  GroHer  Club  of  New  York 
published  an  essay  on  the  Bazilt^logia,  a  book  of  royal 
English  portraits,  issued  without  text,  by  Henry  Holland 
in  I  61  8.  The  preparation  of  that  essav  led  me  into  many 
side-paths,  and  brought  to  my  attention  other  interesting 
.  ^^"^'s,   this  present  volume    bein^r    the    result    of   these 

further  investigations.  To  make  the  history  of  e^rly  English  en<rraved 
royal  portraits  complete,  it  would  be  necessary,  of  course,  to  note'all  of 
importance,  and  to  simplify  the  record  they  could  be  convenientlv  classified 
as  Follows: 

1.  Portraits  issued  in  series. 

II.  Portraits  in  frontispieces  and  title-pao-es. 

III.  Groups,  other  than  those  in  Class  II. 

IV.  Single  portraits,  other  than  those  in  Classes  I  and  II 

It  would  also  be  necessary  to  fix  a  date,  later  than  which  it  is  not  desirable 
to  go,  and  the  year  1800  would  be  the  best,  in  order  to  avoid  the  flood  of 
modern  and  uninteresting  portraits  which  came  thereafter;  althoucrh  some 
reprodu^ions  and  copies  of  earlier  prints  which  were  pubh'shed  a'tter  th  it 
date  should  be  considered.  As  an  instance  I  mioht  mention  the  series 
published  by  Samuel  Woodburn  in  18 16  under  the  title  of  IVoodburn 
Gallery  of  Rare  Portraits.  This  scries  was  printed  from  the  old  coppers  or 
clse  the  plates  are  copies  from  old  prints,  so  that  they  mav  be  considered  as 
belonging  to  the  earlier  period.    It  is  also  to  be  observed  that  all  the  portraits 


2  INTRODUCTORY   NOTE 

of  the  eighteenth  century  cannot  he  considered,  as  some  which  appeared 
in  the  last  quarter  thereof  are  as  uninteresting  as  those  which  came 
thereafter. 

The  essay  on  the  Baziiixlogia  only  dealt  with  one  series  cominu;  within 
Class  1,  but  it  was  the  most  celebrated,  if  not  the  most  important,  and  the 
history  of  the  book,  and  its  portraits  in  their  later  (and  sometimes  earlier) 
states,  was  peculiarly  elusive,  presenting  many  questions  for  solution. 

In  this  present  essav  I  have  attempted  to  deal  with  the  remainintr 
portraits  belonging  to  Class  I,  but  incidentally  I  have  wandered  briefly  into 
Class  II,  as  several  frontispieces  and  title-pages  contain  complete  series  of 
royal  portraits  from  William  the  Conqueror  down  to  and  including  the  then 
reigning  sovereign.  Having  once  entered  the  Held  of  Class  II,  I  have  not 
withdrawn  without  mentioning  a  tew  other  title-pages  of  special  interest  and 
importance. 

It  will  thus  be  seen  that  only  one  class  out  of  the  four  has  been  fully 
investigated,  leaving  the  others  for  future  consideration. 

The  whole  subjec^l  is  most  interesting.  To  look  at  a  portrait  of  Qi^ieen 
Elizabeth  and  think  that  she  undoubtedly  saw  an  impression  from  that 
plate — possibly  the  identical  print  you  are  handling — or  to  examine  a  book 
on  the  title  of  which  is  a  portrait  of  James  I  and  think  that  possibly  it  was 
prepared  at  his  command,  or  to  see  a  portrait  of  Mary  Qi_ieen  of  Scots  made 
m  her  lite-time,  is,  to  say  the  least,  a  romantic  entertainment.  The  study 
ot  the  prints  leads  to  the  study  of  their  subjeels  and  the  history  of  the 
times,  which,  extending  from  the  days  of  William  the  Coiujueror,  covers 
the  most  stirring  and  interesting  periods  of  JOiglish  history.  In  addition, 
one  is  also  obliged  to  study  the  arts  of  engraving  and  printing,  their  develop- 
ment in  England,  and  the  other  works  of  the  engravers,  painters,  authors, 
and  [printers  of  the  day,  together  with  their  lives.  Tlie  difficulty  is  to  keep 
to  the  selected  path,  so  many  alluring  vistas  open  up  in  every  direc'tion. 

One  ot  the  most  interesting  subjecfts  for  investigation,  in  connedion 
with  the  study  of  engraved  Royal  English  Portraits,  is  their  probable  oriirin. 
Vertue,  in  the  notes  preceding  his  series  prepared  for  Rapin's  Historv,  and 
published  with  the  separate  issue  of  plates  in  1736,  hereinafter  referred  to, 
from  which  the  portrait  of  Henry  \^III  is  reproduced  herein  on  Plate  90, 
mentions  the  source  of  each  of  his  designs.  It  is  worth  while  quoting  from 
Vertue  rather  fully,  making  a  few  comments  by  the  way: 


INTRODUCTORY  NOTE  3 

Several  attempts  fia\c  been  made  (since  the  arts  of  priiitino;  and  enG;ravin<T  were 
found  out  in  Europe)  to  colled  and  publish  series  of  pidurcs  of  the  Kmperors  of  Rome 
and  Germany,  and  of  the  Kings,  Princes,  and  most  illustrious  persons  of  different 
nations  ;  which  have  always  been  considered  as  agreeable  and  useful  ornaments  to 
their  histories. 

The  Portraitures  of  the  Kings  of  England  have  not  been  unattempted  at  different 
times,  but  done  so  imperfedly,  and  from  such  spurious  authorities,  that  thev  have  rather 
given  disgust,  than  satisfaction,  to  the  curious. 

•  In  order  to  the  making  this  colledion  more  complete,  the  utmost  care  has  been 
taken  and  the  most  diligent  enquiry  made  after  the  best  authorities;  first,  for  ancient 
coins,  royal  seals,  statues,  limnings,  painted  glass,  paintings  on  wood,  etc,  now  remain- 
ing: those  being  the  only  authorities  to  be  depended  on  with  regard  to  the  more  distant 
of  our  English  Kings. 

In  the  later  times  .  .  .  the  royal  portraitures  here  represented  are  taken  from  the 
paintings  of  the  best  masters;  as  expressed  under  each  pidure.

Henry  V.    This  pifture  "  is  preserved  on  board,  painted  antiently,  now  amongst  the 

royal  colledlion  in  the  palace  of  Kensington,  and  in  vellum  manuscripts  of  that

presented  by  Vertue. 
John,  Duke  of  Bedford.    From  a  limning  in  a  manuscript  prayer-book  presented  by

Henry  VII  and  the  others  coming  thereafter  are  fully  described  by 
Vertue,  but  they  are  so  well  known  that  it  Is  not  necessary  further  to 
mention  them  here. 

Another  book  which  is  very  interesting  in  this  connexion  is  The  Regal 
and  Ecclesiastical  Antiquities  of  England^  by  Joseph  Strutt,  London  1773. 

Strutt  engraved  the  plates,  and  wrote  the  comments  thereon.  The  title 
is  as  follows :

It  contains  sixty  plates  engraved  in  line  and  printed  in  bistre. 
Plate  No.  XVTl  is  here  reprotluced  on  Plate  2.    The  description  is  as 
follows : 

The  coronation  of  Richard  the  Second;  he  was  crowned  bv  Simon  Sudbury,  Arch- 
bishop of  Canterbury,  who  was  assisted  by  abbot  Lytlington ;  the  earl  of  Derby 
(afterwards  King  Henry  IV.)  bears  the  curtana 

A  footnote  states  that : 

The  King's  robe  is  gold,  his  close  garment  pink  and  gold  flowers;  the  throne  is  a 
reddish  brown;  the  bishop  at  the  right  hand  is  in  white,  and  a  bhie  robe  with  gold 
flowers;  the  abbot  at  the  left  is  also  in  white,  a  gold  robe  with  white  spots:  John  a 
Gaunt  is  in  blue  and  white  hose,  and  dark  shoes;  the  attendant  behind  is  in  white; 
the  cross,  crosier,  mitres  and  other  ornaments,  as  well  as  the  background,  are  gold;  the 
lighter  colour  of  the  frame  red,  the  dark  part  blue. 

According  to  the  prospedus,  this  was  "  Taken  with  great  Care  from 
MSS.  written  and  illuminated  in  the  very  Time  of  Richard  the  Second." 

The  whole  series  is  of  interest,  and  some  of  the  portrait-types  can  be 
traced  through  the  early  engraved  portraits. 

I  have  not  been  able  to  discover  the  source  of  most  of  the  ancient 
portraits  from  William  the  Conqueror  to  Edward  II  inclusive,  as  shown  in 
the  early  engravings.  The  usual  types  of  William  the  Conqueror,  for  in- 
stance, as  shown  in  Plates  46  and  77,  are  very  different  from  the  type 
depicted  by  V'ertue ;  so  different,  particularly  that  shown  on  Plate  46,  that 
it  is  impossible  to  reconcile  them  ;  yet  the  portraits  on  Plates  46  and  77  are 
those  which  are  persistently  followed  through  most  of  the  early  series. 

It  IS  also  interesting  to  examine  specimens  of  early  English  coins  and 
reproductions  thereof  in  books  on  coinage,  but  the  portraits  are  probably 


INTRODUCTORY  NOTE  7 

not  authentic,  and,  excepting  those  copied  by  Vertue,  were  not  followed  by 
the  early  engravers. 

Although   not  falling  within   the   limits  of  this  essay,  there  are  two 
classes  of>engraved  portraits  which  should  not  be  overlooked. 

First,  the  beautiful  silver  plaques,  engraved  as  a  rule  by  Simon  van  de 
Passe,  and  usually  with  the  portraits  of  Queen  Elizabeth,  James  I,  Anne  of 
Denmark,  or  members  of  the  family  of  James  and  Anne.  These  are  described 
by  Sir  Sidney  Colvin  in  Ear/y  Engraving  and  Engravers  in  England,  and  an 
interesting  paper  by  Mr.  G.  F.  Hill  on  The  technique  of  Simon  van  de  Passe, 
likewise  dealing  with  the  subjed,  appeared,  with  five  illustrations,  in  the 
Numismatic  Chronicle  m  19 15  (Fourth  Series,  vol.  xv). 

Secondly,  the  silver  counters  of  the  seventeenth  century  (about  the  size 
of  a  shilling),  supposed  to  be  the  work  of  Simon  van  de  Passe  or  members 
of  his  family  or  his  pupils  or  followers,  and  which  are  exhaustively  described 
by  Miss  Helen  Farquhar  in  a  paper  entitled  Silver  Counters  of  the  Seventeenth 
Century,  appearing  in  the  Numismatic  Chronicle  in  1916  CFourth  Series 
.  xvij. 

Large  numbers  of  these  were  made,  including  complete  series  of  sove- 
reigns of  England,  both  full  length  and  half  length,  busts  of  Charles  I, 
Henrietta  Maria,  Charles  as  Prince,  Henry  Prince  of  Whales,  and  other 
members  of  the  family  of  James  I.  Also  Biblical  subjeds,  street-cries,  etc. 
These,  and  particularly  the  royal  portraits,  are  fully  described  by  Miss 
Farquhar.  She  is  able  to  show  the  origin  of  many  of  the  portraits,  viz.,  the 
B.rziliJogia,  Holinshed's  Chronicles,  etc.  Eighteen  specimens  are  reproduced 
in  her  essay. 

Contemporary  specimens  of  prints  made  from  both  plaques  and  counters 
are  known,  and  modern  prints,  particularly  from  the  plaques,  are  often  found. 

Plate  3  shows  four  of  these  counters  from  my  colledion,  with  portraits 
of  Charles  I  and  Henrietta  Maria,  Edward  VI  finely  engraved,  Anne  of 
Denmark  roughly  engraved,  and  the  reverse  of  one,  which  is  typical. 

Plates  4  and  5  show  eight  of  the  plaques  in  the  Vidoria  and  Albert 
Museum.    All  of  these  reprodudions  are  the  size  of  the  originals.

INTRODUCTORY  NOTE  ,, 

I  have  arranged  the  following  notes  in  chronological  order,  excepting 
where  a  series  of  plates  is  used  in  more  than  one  edition  of  the  same  book 
and  where  a  series  (or  plates  from  it)  appears  in  different  books,  in  which 
events  all-uses  of  the  series,  or  parts  thereof,  are  grouped  together. 

Groups,  as  distinguished  from  series,  are  not  noted.  For  instance,  the 
Group  of  James  I  and  his  Family,  engraved  by  Willem  van  de  Passe,  is  not 
described,  although  it  contains  fifteen  portraits;  vet  some  of  the  series  I 
mention  only  contain  two  or  three. 

In  a  few  cases  I  have  mentioned  single  portraits ;  they  are  always  early 
ones,  however,  and  of  some  special  interest;  e.g.,  I  illustrate  the  first  en- 
graved title-page  used  in  England,  containing  the  arms  and  badges  of 
Henry  VIII,  and  a  second  state  of  the  plate  with  the  arms  replaced  by  a 
portrait  of  Queen  Elizabeth.    See  Platen.

1529 

THE  PASTYME  OF  PEOPLE.    [By  John  Rastell.] 
(Known  as  Rastell's  Chronicle) 

This,  the  earliest  book  containing  a  complete  series  of  engraved  portraits  of 
English  kings,  was  published  in  1529,  the  title-page  from  the  copy  in  the 
British  Museum  being  reproduced  on  Plate  6,  the  same  size  as  the  original. 
In  my  copy,  in  addition  to  the  title  within  the  woodcut  border  (which  un- 
fortunately is  imperfed),  there  is  inserted,  before  the  portrait  of  William  the 
Conqueror,  another  title-page,  on  the  verso  of  which  is  the  first  page  of 
the  Prologus,  the  same  as  on  the  verso  of  the  other,  but  the  spelling  is 
different,  and  it  does  not  check  with  the  other  line  by  line,  although  it 
finishes  the  page  with  the  same  word. 

This  title  is  reproduced  on  Plate  7. 

It  cannot  be  a  recent  insertion,  as  it  is  on  very  old  paper,  and  there  is 
written  on  it  in  old  and  faded  ink,  "John  Hay  aught  this  book  att 
St.  Leonards  the  year  of  the  worlds  Redemption  1687.  29  day  of  aQgust." 

It  seems  probable  that  this  is  from  an  edition  later  than  the  other, 
although  I  can  find  no  trace  of  one,  until  the  appearance  of  the  1 8 1 1  reprint 
hereinafter  mentioned. 

At  the  end  of  the  volume  is  the  mark  of  John  Rastell  (reproduced  on 
Plate  8).  This  mark  is  illustrated  on  page  37  of  Pr inter i  Marks  by 
W.  Roberts  (George  Bell  and  Sons,  London  and  New  York,  1903),  but  is

THE  PASTYME  OF  PEOPLE  ,5 

in  Cheapside  |  By  John  Rastell,  [a.d.  1529.]  |  Now  first  reprinted,  and 
systematically  arranged,  with  |  fac-simlle  wood-cuts  of  the  |  Portraits  of 
Popes,  Emperors,  &c.  |  and  |  The  Kings  of  England.  |  London  |  .  .  .  .  | 
181 1  " 

Pp.  viii — 299.    9I  by  i  if  in. 

This  reprint  was  edited  by  the  Rev.  T.  F.  Dibdin  and  is  quite  scarce. 
The  facsimiles  are  excellent. 

In  the  "Advertisement"  or  Preface,  occurs  the  following: 

The  present  arrangement,  it  is  presumed,  will  be  found  a  considerable  improve- 
ment upon  the  former  plan ;  as  the  several  histories,  which  here  succeed  each  other  in 
regular  order,  are,  in  Rastell's  impression,  so  confusedly  arranged,  that  the  Reader  finds 
himself  at  Rome,  Paris,  and  London,  in  the  same  page,  and  mixing  with  foreigners  and 
Englishmen,  before  he  knows  where  he  is,  or  can  remember  preceding  events.  With 
all  the  Editor's  well-known  attachment  to  ancient  lore,  he  conceived  that  an  adherence 
to  antiquity,  in  these  particulars,  would  be  both  blind  and  produdive  of  confusion  ; 
especially  as  not  a  word  of  Rastell  has  been  lost  by  the  present  modification. 

In  addition  to  the  inconvenience  of  a  barbarous  arrangement  of  materials,  the 
Editor  (and  particularly  the  Printer)  had  to  contend  with  a  still  more  barbarous  typo- 
graphical execution.  It  is  hardly  possible  to  conceive  a  book  more  rudely  printed  than 
the  original  of  the  present  volume.  Nothing  but  the  bold  and  striking  wood-cuts  of 
our  Kings  OF  England,  by  exciting  thecuriosity  of  purchasers,  could  have  caused  the 
great  scarcity  of  it. 

Fac-simile  impressions  of  these  woodcuts,  [with  the  exception  of  the  woodcut  to  the 
title-page,  portraits  of  Hedor,  Rollo,  and  Pharamound,  and  the  printer's  mark  at  the 
end  of  the  book]  executed  by  Mr.  John  Nesbit,  are  now  brought  before  the 
Public;   .   .   . 

It  only  remains  to  add,  that  almost  the  whole  of  the  present  impression  has  been 
carefully  printed  from  a  copy  in  the  possession  of  the  Right  Hon.  Thomas  Grenville; 
the  defedive  parts  having  been  supplied  by  transcriptions  from  a  copy  belonging  to 
John  Towneley,  Esq.  .  .  .  Earl  Spencer  is  in  possession  of  another  copy,  not  quite 
perfeft;  and  his  Majesty's  Library  may  boast  of  the  perfeft  and  well  preserved  copy 
which  formerly  belonged  to  the  collections  of  Lord  Oxford  and  Mr.  West. 

The  original   is  printed  in  black-letter,  with  many  curious  words,  and 
curious  spelling.    One  of  the  pages  (signature  A  vi)  is  here  reproduced  on  ' 
Plate  9  from  the  Museum  copy— being  the  one  formerly  belonging  to  Lord 
Oxford  and  Mr.  West,  as  mentioned  above  by  Dibdin.    This  is  about  half 
the  size  of  the  original.      This  is  the  only  page  with  an  important  woodcut.

THE  PASTY  ME  OF  PEOPLE  21 

William  the  Conqueror  to  Henry  I,  three  centaurs  on  the  shield  of  Stephen 
three  lions  on  those  from  Henry  11  to  Edward  II,  while  from  Edward  III 
to  Kichard  III  the  arms  of  England  are  quartered  with  those  of  France 
Richard  I-is  pulling  the  heart  out  of  the  lion,  the  text  stating  that 

It  is  sayd  that  a  lyon  was  put  to  kynge  Rycharde,  beynge  in  prison,  ,0  haue  de- 
voured hym;  and  when  the  lyon  was  gapynge,  he  put  his  arme  in  his  mouthe,  and 
pulled  the  lyon  by  the  harte  so  harde  that  he  slewe  the  lyon ;  and  therfore  some  s^y  he 
,s  called  Rycharde  Cure  de  Lyon.  But  some  say  he  is  called  Cure  de  L,on  because  of 
Ills  boldenesse  and  hardy  stomake.  . 

This  fine  woodcut  of  Richard  is  reproduced  on  Plate  lo,  about  half  the 
size  ot  the  original,  and  is  typical  of  all  the  others. 

Edward  III  has  two  crowns  (France  and  England)  pierced  by  his  sword, 
Edward  V  has  his  crown  above  his  head,  and  Richard  III  is  holding  a 
broken  sceptre.  It  is  to  be  observed,  however,  that  none  of  the  portraits 
have  the  conventional  heads,  which  appear  in  almost  all  of  the  later  sets  of 
royal  portraits. 

Ames  says  that  the  printer  of  this  book,  John  Rastell,  was: 

A  Gentleman  brought  up  in  learning,  and  probably  to  the  law,  had  his  education 
in  the  University  of  Oxford,  and,  according  to  Wood,  was  born  in  London.  He  took 
up  the  employ  of  printing,  which  at  that  time  was  esteemed  a  profession  fit  for  any 
scholaror  ingenious  man.  Being  noted  for  piety  and  learning,  he  became  intimate 
with  Sir  Thomas  More,  whose  sister  Elizabeth  he  married,  was  zealous  for  the 
Catholick  cause,  and  a  great  hater  of  the  proceedings  of  kyng  Henry  VIII  But  Fox 
says,  Rastell  was  converted  by  John  Frith. 

In  describing  the  book,  Ames,  after  giving  the  date  and  quoting  the 
title,  continues:  ^ 

This  title  it  bears  between  fifteen  small  blocks  of  pretty  devices,  like  Hans  Holbein's 
work  If  not  his.  It  is  contained  in  68  large  folio  leaves  with  a  good  many  cuts,  eighteen 
of  which  are  large,  taking  up  the  whole  side.  These  are  draughts  of  our  kings!  from 
William  the  conqueror  to  Richard  the  third  inclusive.  There  is  no  paging  nor  date  to 
it,  but  this  paragraph  shews  the  time:  »   &    fo 

After   the  deposynge  of  thys  kynge   Rycharde,   kynge  Henry  founde  greate 
treasoure   what  in  his  treasourye,  and  what  in  other  places,  in  money  and  jewels 
to  the  value  of  vii.  m.  li.    But  yet  here  ye  must  note  that  xl.  sh.  in  those  days 
was  better  than  xl.  sh.  is  at  this  present  day,  which  is  nowe  the  xxi.  yere  of  kynge 
Henry  VIII.  for  at  those  days  v.  grotes  made  an  ounce,  and  nowe  at  this  day  xi 
grotes  maketh  an  ounce.  ^

THE  PASTYME  OF  PEOPLE 


I  might  take  notice  of  Rastell's  exploding  the  notion  of  Brute  the  Trojan's  settlement 
here,  and  many  other  just  observations  of  his  in  the  preface;  as  of  a  chart,  or  Mappa 
Mundi  then  among  us;  but  this  being  foreign  to  my  subject,  I  must  forbear.  This  is 
that  scarce  book  called  by  the  name  of  Rastell's  chronicle,  which  Dr.  Nicholson,  in  his 
Hist.  Lib.  p.  71,  knew  not  where  to  find.    It's  now  in  my  possession. 

Mr.  Henry  R.  Plomer,  in  A  Short  History  of  English  Printing,  1476- 
1898,  London,  1900,  says  that  Rastell  begun  to  print  about  the  year  15 14, 
that  he  was  trained  for  the  law  and  is  believed  to  have  been  educated  at 
Oxford,  that  in  addition  to  his  legal  business,  he  translated  and  compiled 
many  law-books,  the  most  notable  being  the  Great  Abridgement  of  the 
Statutes. 

He  then  continues: 

John  Rastell's  first  printing  office  in  London  was  on  the  south  side  of  St.  Paul's 
Churchyard.  William  Bonham,  the  stationer  with  whom  Rastell  was  afterwards  associ- 
ated, had  some  premises  there,  and  as  late  as  the  seventeenth  century  there  was  a  house 
in  Sermon  Lane,  known  as  the  Mermaid,  and  it  may  be  that  in  one  or  the  other  of 
these  Rastell  printed  the  undated  edition  of  Linacre's  Grammar,  which  bears  the 
address  "ye  sovvth  side  of  paulys."  But  in  1520  he  moved  to  "the  Mermayd  at 
Powlys  gate  next  to  chepe  syde."  There  he  printed  The  Pa  sty  me  of  People.  .  .  . 
Rastell  was  brother-in-law  of  Sir  Thomas  More,  and  up  to  i  530  a  zealous  Roman 
Catholic.  So  strong  were  his  religious  opinions  that  in  that  year  he  wrote  and  printed 
a  defence  of  the  Roman  Catholic  do<^trine  of  Purgatory,  under  the  title  of  the  New 
Boke  of  Purgatory.  This  was  answered  by  John  Frith,  the  Reformer,  who  is  credited 
with  having  achieved  John  Rasttll's  conversion.  By  whatever  means  the  change  was 
brought  about,  John  Rastell  did  soon  afterwards  become  a  Protestant ;  but  the  change 
in  his  belief  made  him  many  enemies.  He  was  arrested  for  his  opinions,  and  if  he  did 
not  die  in  prison,  he  was  in  prison  just  before  his  death,  which  took  place  in  1536. 
.  .  .  Dibdin,  in  his  reprint  of  The  Pastyme  of  People,  was  very  severe  upon  the  careless 
printing  of  the  original,  but  it  is  more  than  likely  that  it  was  the  work  of  one  of 
Rastell's  apprentices,  rather  than  his  own. 

In  the  latest  edition  of  Bryan  s  Di^ionary  of  Painters  and  Engravers 
(vol.  iv,  London,  1904),  John  Rastell  Is  mentioned  as  "an  English  wood- 
engraver  "  and  that  he  is  remembered  by  The  Pastyme  of  People  which  he 
published  in  1529  vnth  his  own  illustrations,  and  that  these  have  been 
wroncdy  ascribed  to  Holbein.  1  can  find  no  other  reference  to  his  being  an 
enoraver,  or  that  these  illustrations  are  his  own. 

Lowndes  says  that  only   three  perfed  copies  ot   the  book  are  known: 


THE  PASTYME  OF  PEOPLE 


^3 


viz.,  those  in  the  British  Museum  (formerly  belonging  to  King  George  III), 
Earl  Spencer's  Library,  and  the  Hunterian  Museum,  Glasgow.    His  colla- 
tion of  the  book  is  not  correal,  and  it  should  also  be  noted  that  Earl  Spencer's 
copy,  now.'in  the  John  Rylands  Library  at  Manchester,  is  not  perfed. 
In  Fine  Books  (London,  191 2)  Mr.  Alfred  W.  Pollard  says: 

III  1529  John  Rastell  printed  his  own  Pastime  of  People  with  huge,  semi-grotesque 
cuts  of  English  kings. 

The  cuts  are  certainly  large,  but,  having  in  mind  the  date  at  which  they 
were  issued,  they  seem  to  me  to  be  striking  in  their  design,  and  very  well 

executed. 

I  might  also  observe  that  the  quaint  title,  The  Pastyme  of  People,  is  to 
my  mind  peculiarly  pleasing. 

Finally  it  should  be  noted  that  the  little  woodcuts  surrounding  the  title 
are  copied  (sometimes,  but  not  always,  in  reverse)  from  those  found  in 
French  Books  of  Hours.  I  have  before  me,  as  I  write,  one  printed  by 
Thielman  Kerver  in  1504  containing  many  cuts  exadly  like  those  used  by 
Rastell,  excepting  that  they  are  more  finely  cut  than  Rastell's,  and  more 
carefully  printed.  1  have  no  doubt  that  the  images  of  the  Apostles  on 
Plate  9  have  a  similar  origin.  One  of  the  excessively  rare  books  included 
in  the  bequest  made  to  the  British  Museum  In  Odober  19 10  by  the  late 
Mr.  Alfred  H.  Huth,  was  printed  by  Rastell  (c.  1526)  entitled  A  Hundred 
Merry  Tales.  This  was  printed  from  the  same  type  as  The  Pastyme  of 
People,  and  it  Is  interesting  to  note  (see  the  special  catalogue  of  this  collec- 
tion published  by  the  Trustees  of  the  Museum  In  19 12)  that  the  ornaments 
consist  of  "  Miscellaneous  border-pieces  and  ledges,  with  small  cuts  from  the 
borders  of  Hor^  surrounding  title  and  Rastell's  device.''

COMPENDIOSA  TOTIUS  ANATOMIE   DELINE- 
ATIO,  &  RE  EXARATA:  per  Thomam  Geminum. 

I  HAVE  included  the  title-page  to  the  above  book,  because  it  is  the  earliest 
used  in  England  from  an  engraved  plate,  and  one  of  the  earliest  and  most 
interesting  of  all  extant  engraved  title-pages. 

It  is  fully  discussed  and  described  in  Sir  Sidney  Colvin's  Early  Engrav- 
ing and  Engravers  in  England,  London,  1905,  where  the  first  state  is  re- 
produced, full  size,  and  the  portrait  of  Queen  Elizabeth  from  the  third 
state  is  also  shown. 

It  is  supposed  to  have  been  engraved  by  the  author,  Thomas  Geminus, 
but  this  is  by  no  means  certain. 

The  book  was  printed  in  1545  by  John  Herford  made  up  of  the  Latin 
text  of  Vesalius's  Suorum  de  humani  corporis  fabrica  librorum  Epitome, 
together  with  some  portions  of  his  De  fabrica  humani  corporis,  and  illus- 
trated with  a  set  of  copperplates  engraved  by  Geminus,  copied  from 
Vesalius. 

In  the  first  state  of  the  title,  the  centre  is  occupied  by  the  arms  of 
Henry  VIII,  and  the  Tudor  badges  are  also  shown.  In  1553  an  English 
edition  was  issued  with  the  same  title-page,  unaltered,  and  in  1569  a  third 
edition  was  published,  also  in  English.  In  this,  the  portrait  of  Queen 
Elizabeth  (it  was  in  the  second  year  of  her  reign)  replaces  the  royal  arms. 

Both  states  of  the  title  are  shown  on  Plate  1 1. 

The  size  of  the  engraved  surface  of  the  original  is  about  10  by  14!  in.

1548-1550 

HALLE'S  CHRONICLE 

The  first  Issue  of  1548  of  the  Chronicle  of  Edwarde  Halle  was  entitled: 
THE  UNion  of  the  two  noble  and  illustre  famelies  of  Lancaster  and  Yorke  beying 
long  in  continual  di seen sion  for  the  croune  of  this  noble  realme  .  .  .    1548. 

This  is  in  the  centre  of  a  leaf,  surrounded  by  archite(5lural  ornaments 
(the  same  as  used  by  Grafton  for  titles  to  his  edition  of  Statutes  temp. 
Edward  VI);  the  upper  compartment  containing  the  King  sitting  in 
Parliament.  The  second  issue  of  the  same  year  has  a  similar  title,  beginning 
THE  (JNTON,  etc.,  surrounded  by  a  curious  genealogical  tree  said  to  have 
been  designed  by  John  Bets,*  and  engraved  on  wood  by  Tyrall  or  Tyrrel. 
This  contains  the  effigies  of  the  rival  families  suspended  from  the  branches 
with  Henry  VIII  at  the  top. 

The  third  issue,  1548-50,  has  a  slightly  different  title,  beginning  THE 
VNIon,  etc.,  with  the  genealogical  tree. 

The  fourth  issue  was  published  in  1550,  with  a  similar  title  and  the 
tree.    This  is  reproduced  on  Plate  12. 

It  is  roughly  engraved  and  poorly  printed,  but  the  reproduction  shows 
it  fairly  well.    This  edition  was  prohibited  by  ad  of  Parliament  in  1555. 

The  same  woodcut  was  also  used  in  The  Woorkes  of  Geffrey  Chaucer, 
London,  1561,  the  inscription  reading.  The  Caunterburie  tales. 

On  the  verso  of  folio  cclxiii  of  the  first  issue,  is  a  remarkable  metal-cut, 
8J  by  5j  in.,  showing  Henry  VIII  and  his  councillors,  among  whom  Car- 
dinal Pole  is  said  to  be  recognizable.  It  is  signed  in  the  lower  right-hand 
corner  with  the  letters  I  F,  and,  according  to  Lowndes,  was  probably  designed 
by  Hans  Holbein. 

There  is  an  interesting  note  on  this  book  in  Ames's  Typographical 
Antiquities,  and  Lowndes  describes  all  four  issues  very  fully.

GRAFTON'S  CHRONICLE 

In  1569  Richard  Grafton  published  his  Chronicle,  with  the  title-page  re- 
produced on  Plate  13. 

I  have  a  copy  of  this  Chronicle  with  an  earlier  state  of  the  title-page, 
the  names  of  the  kings,  and  the  letters  E.R.  being  omitted.  This  is  not  to 
be  confused  with  a  similar  title-page  in  the  second  edition  of  Holinshed's 
Chronicle,  hereinafter  mentioned. 

The  title-page  to  the  second,  and  larger,  part  of  Grafton's  Chronicle  is 
dated  1568,  and  contains  no  portraits.  The  colophons  to  both  parts  are 
likewise  dated  1568.  The  portrait  of  William  the  Conqueror  is  similar  to 
Type  A  in  the  Baziliiolngia  hereinafter  described.

The  border  to  the  title-page  No.  3  Is  the  same  as  that  used  several 
times  in  the  1577  edition  of  Holinshed's  Chronicle,  and  which  is  reproduced 
on  Plate  r,8.  The  portraits  on  the  reverse  are  reproduced  on  Plate  17. 
They  were  probably  drawn  to  represent  the  particular  kings  named  ;  e.g.^ 
in  the  case  of  Edward  III,  the  crowns  of  France  and  England  are  impaled 
by  his  sword. 

The  six  blocks  of  portraits  on  Plate  17  were  afterwards  used  in  Holin- 
shed's Chronicle  (1577  edition),  but,  in  three  cases,  to  illustrate  different 
kings  than  those  shown.  The  following  list  shows  their  use  in  the  two 
books  respedlively : 

Holinshed.

Richard  II. 
Henry  IV. 
Henry  V. 


Edward  IV. 
Henry  VI. 
Edward  III. 
Edward  II. 
Henry  IV. 
Henry  V. 


The  blocks  are  quite  crisp,  and  show  few  signs  of  wear  compared  with 
their  condition  in  Holinshed. 

Some  of  the  portrait  blocks  from  Holinshed  were  used  in  16 10  in  A 
Mirovr  for  Magistrates^  as  stated  on  page  40  hereof. 

In  1603  a  large  folio  edition  was  published  in  Frankfort  with  the  fol- 
lowing title :

HOLINSHED'S  CHRONICLE 

1586-87 
Second  Edition 

In    1577  the  most  interesting,  and  in  many  ways  the  most  important,  of 
the  early  English  Chronicles,  was  published  with  the  following  title: 

Chronicles  of  England,  Scotland  and  Irelande  .  .  .  Faithfully  gathered 
and  set  forth  by  Raphaell  Holinshed  .   .   .   London. 

The  several  parts  or  volumes  have  separate  titles,  each  within  the  same 
woodcut  border  of  conventional  strapwork,  one  of  them  (the  last)  being  re- 
produced on  Plate  18. 

This  edition  contains  numerous  woodcuts,  and,  because  of  the  use  he 
probably  made  of  it,  is  commonly  known  as  "  Shakespeare's  Edition." 

The  woodcuts  are  used  over  and  over  to  illustrate  different  events  and 
many  of  the  portraits  are  likewise  repeated  to  represent  different  persons. 

There  is  a  series  of  Scottish  kings,  and  the  Royal  English  portraits 
extend  from  Brute  (the  page  containing  his  portrait  being  reproduced  on 
Plate  19)  to  Queen  Mary  1  inclusive.  Although  published  during  the  reign 
of  Elizabeth,  her  portrait  Is  not  shown,  only  her  coat  of  arms.  None  of  the 
portraits  prior  to  Henry  VIII  follow  conventional  types.  Henry  VIII, 
Edward  VI,  and  Mary  I  are  similar  to  those  appearing  In  later  series.  The 
portraits  of  William  the  Conqueror,  Henry  VIII,  and  Mary  I  are  repro- 
duced, about  the  same  size  as  the  originals,  on  Plate  20.  The  portrait  of 
William  the  Conqueror  appears  several  times  in  the  part  containing  the 
History  of  Scotland,  each  time  representing  a  different  Scottish  king. 

Perfed  copies  of  the  book  are  rare,  and  are  worth  from  is^  ^^  /^ioo> 
depending  on  their  condition  and  size.    Even  imperfed  copies  are  scarce. 

The  next  edition,  in  three  volumes,  was  issued  in  1 586-1 587.  The  so- 
called  "  Castrations  "  were  then  issued  In  a  separate  volume.  In  this  edition 
the  language  is  much  altered,  and  the  woodcuts  are  omitted.     This  edition

HOLINSHED'S  CHRONICLE 


was  supervised,  correded,  and  enlarged  by  Abraham  Fleming,  his  brother 
Samuel  assisting  in  the  compilation  of  the  index,  and  in  making  other  im- 
provements.   It  was  again  reprinted  in  1807-8. 

The  first  two  volumes  have  several  interesting  title-pages,  one  of  them 
being  the  same  as  those  in  the  first  edition.  The  third  volume  has  one 
similar  to  the  one  in  Grafton's  Chronicle  (Plate  13),  but  a  little  larger,  and, 
like  the  first  state  of  the  Grafton  title,  with  the  names  of  the  kings  and  the 
letters  E  R  in  the  lower  compartment  omitted. 

A  number  of  the  portrait  blocks  from  the  1577  edition  of  Holinshed's 
Chronicle  were  used  in  the  16 10  edition  o{  A  Mirovr  for  Magistrates; 
Imprinted  by  Felix  Kyngston,  but  only  one,  that  of  Richard  I,  is  used  to  re- 
present the  same  person. 

The  same  blocks,  with  one  or  two  exceptions,  were  also  used  in  the  1575 
and  1 580  editions  of  Stow's  Chronicles,  as  hereinafter  described ;  one  of  the 
exceptions  being  William  the  Conqueror,  the  portrait  from  the  1575  edition 
being  reproduced  on  Plate  104,  while  that  from  the  1580  edition  is  repro- 
duced on  Plate  107.

SCOTORVM.  .  .  .  AvTHORE  Ioanne  Lesl^o,  Scoto, 
Episcopo  Rossensi.    Rome  1578. 

The  royal  portraits  contained  in  this  book  are  those  of  Fergus  I,  Donald  I, 
Fergus  II,  Achaius,  Malcolm  III,  Robert  Bruce,  James  II,  Henry  VII  (of 
England),  James  V,  and,  on  one  plate,  those  of  Mary  Queen  of  Scots  and 
Prince  James,  afterwards  Jari^es  VI.  This  page  is  reproduced  on  Plate  21. 
All  the  portraits  are  in  circular  frames,  and,  excepting  on  the  one  last  men- 
tioned, each  plate  contains  a  genealogical  tree.  There  is  also  a  general  genea- 
logical tree,  which  is  likewise  shown  on  Plate  21. 

In  addition  to  portraits  the  book  also  contains  a  map  of  Scotland  (re- 
produced on  Plate  22),  which  Is  one  of  the  earliest  known  with  any  pretence 
to  accuracy.  On  the  lower  side  of  this  map  are  beautiful  little  ships,  which 
are  reproduced,  on  an  enlarged  scale,  on  Plate  23,  the  bottom  one  being 

particularly  attradlve. 

The  portrait  of  Mary  Is  of  considerable  Importance,  as  it  was  Issued 
during  her  lifetime,  and  In  a  book  written  by  her  personal  representative, 
Bishop  Leslie ;  it  is  therefore  believed  to  be  an  authentic  likeness. 

A  second  edition  appeared  in  1675  with  rather  rough  copies  of  all  the 
plates  excepting  the  map.  The  portrait  of  Mary  in  this  edition  is  very  poor. 
They  are  smaller  than  the  earlier  series,  and  a  single  line  replaces  the  orna- 
mental border  to  the  plates. 

I  have  a  set  of  proofs,  without  text,  of  this  last  series. 

A  rough  copy  of  the  portrait  of  Mary  and  a  different  one  of  James  are 
on  the  back  of  the  title-page  to  A  Treatise  Tovvching  the  Right,  Title  and

SAXTON'S  SURVEY 

Christopher  Saxton  and  Auoustine  Ryther,both  of  Leeds,  at  the  suggestion 
and  expense  of  Thomas  Sekforde  (I  take  the  spelling  from  his  autograph  in 
my  possession),  with  whose  household  in  London  Saxton  was  in  some  way 
conneaed,  and  with  the  approval  and  support  of  the  Qiieen  and  I  nvy 
Council,  undertook  the  first  survey  or  atlas  ot  England  and  Wales. 

Many  of  the  maps  were  published  separately,  but  the  ultimate  result  was 
a  splendid  volume  issued  in  1579  consisting  of  the  beautiful  frontispiece 
(reproduced  on  Plate  26)  showing  Qiieen  Elizabeth  on  her  throne,  as  the 
patron  of  Geography  and  Astronomy,  an  engraved  list  of  the  maps,  and 
thirty-five  maps,  including  that  of  England.  The  preparation  of  Saxton  s 
work  occupied  five  years-1574  to  I579-  Saxton  drew  the  maps,  which 
were  engraved  by  various  hands,  including  Ryther,  who  is  also  supposed  to 
have  engraved  the  frontispiece.  The  other  engravers  were  Remigius 
Hogenberg,   Nicholas    Reynold,   Cornelius    Hogius,   Francis  Scatter,  and 

Leonard  Terwoot.  ■     j?     1     j

ANONYMOUS  HERALDIC  PRINT,  WITH 

FOUR  PORTRAITS 

I  CAN  find  no  record  of  this  remarkable  print  which  is  reproduced  on  Plate  27. 

The  size  of  the  engraved  surfice  is  12 J  by  15.}  in.,  and  of  the  plate 
about  J  in.  larger  in  both  diredions. 

It  contains,  in  the  four  corners,  the  portraits  of  Henry  VII,  Henry  V  111, 
Edward  VI,  and  Mary  I,  the  centre  being  occupied  by  Queen  Elizabeth  s 
arms.    In  the  panel  below  the  portrait  of  Henry  VII,  is  the  tollowing: 

The  amies  of  the  Earls  lord  Barons  and  Bishopricks  acc6ding  to  j^  degre^  in 
parlament. 

A  Biblical  text  is  in  the  panel  on  the  right. 

The  design  of  the  motto  and  its  frame  under  the  Royal  arms,  and  the 
frames  to  the  two  inscriptions  just  mentioned,  indicates  the  work  of  a  map 
engraver,  possibly  Augustine  Ryther.  ^  i-  • 

I  found  this  specimen  inserted  at  the  end  of  a  copy  of  the  1607  edition 
of  Camden's  Britannia,  which  formerly  belonged  to  Johannis  Guilhelmi 
Cressii  de  Cressenstain,  he  having  purchased  it  in  London  in  161 1.  A 
number  of  other  extremely  Interesting  items  were  so  inserted.  Cressij 
probably  used  it  as  a  sort  of  guide  book,  as  each  place  he  visited  he  under- 
lined on  the  maps  in  red  ink,  and  most  of  these  places  he  further  indicated 
with  a  little  blot  of  gold;  his  whole  itinerary  can  be  traced  by  these  marks. 

1  have  added  to  the  series  of  insertions  an  article  from  rhe  Times  ot  29 
December  19 16,  by  W.  T.  Massey,  relative  to  the  vidlory  of  Magdhaba,  in 
which  it  is  stated  that  the  prisoners  include  Khabr  Bey,  Commandant,  and 
Kress  von  Kressenstein  is  said  to  have  left  his  post  in  a  motor-car  for  Jeru- 
salem  at  3  o'clock  on  the  morning  of  the  attack.

prints  is  about  3 J   by  5 J  in.    They  are  not  bound  in  proper  order:   for 
instance,  William  the  Conqueror  is  the  twentieth  portrait.    There  is  no 

text  in  this  volume. 

At  the  bottom  of  early  impressions  of  each  portrait  of  the  series,  in- 
cluding the  Herald,  is  a  landscape  very  lightly  engraved. 

The  portrait  of  William  the  Conqueror,  which  is  typical  of  the  series,  is 

reproduced  on  Plate  29. 

In  addition  to  the  throne,  the  M  useum  copy  contains  another  plate,  which 
is  not  described  by  Bartsch,  which  is  likewise  reproduced  on  Plate  28.  1  do 
not  think  this  belongs  to  the  series,  because  I  have  a  complete  set,  containing 
all  the  plates  as  described  by  Bartsch,  showing  the  plate-lines,  but  without 
this  extra  plate.  My  impressions  are  late,  and  the  landscape  backgrounds 
have  almost  disappeared.  This  set  also  contains  two  extra  plates  of  James  I 
and  Anne  of  Denmark  added  at  a  later  date,  which  maybe  by  Goltzius,  but 

1  can  find  no  record  of  them. 

All  of  the  portraits  of  the  original  set,  from  William  the  Conqueror  to 
Elizabeth  inclusive,  were  copied,  without  the  backgrounds  and  with  some 
minor  changes,  for  use  in  the  1622  edition  of  John  Taylor's  Briefe  Remem-

In  1597  a  very  Important  book  of  British  royal  portraits  was  published 
with  the  title-page  shown  on  Plate  30. 

George  Vertue,  the  celebrated  engraver,  whose  signature  appears  on  this 
reproduaion,  thought  the  compiler's  name  was  Timm  or  Twyne.   Ames 
in  his  Typographical  JntiquitUs,  gives  the  name  as  Thomas  T.mmes,  wh.le 
Lowndes  gives  it  as  Thomas  Timme.  •     ,    ,  • 

The  book  is  of  the  greatest  rarity.  The  only  copy  I  have  seen  ,s  that  in 
the  British  Museum.  It  measures  ^  by  7I  i".  The  plates  are  wood-  or 
metal-cuts.  The  life  of  William  the  Conqueror  is  printed  on  the  verso  ot 
the  title,  and  is  reproduced  on  Plate  31.  On  the  reao  of  the  next  leaf  is 
the  portrait  of  William  the  Conqueror,  which  is  reproduced  on  Plate  3 
It  will  be  observed  that  the  woodcut  border  is  the  same  as  that  on  the  title- 
page.  All  the  portraits  have  this  same  border,  and  all  the  pages  of  text  have 
the  same  as  that  on  Plate  31. 

The  spelling  of  the  name  on  the  portrait  is  m  no  case  the  same  as  that 
in  the  corresponding  life.  The  portraits  are  all  of  the  same  type.  It  ,s  par- 
ticularly interesting  to  note  that  these  portraits  fixed  types  -hich  were 
largely  followed  in  subsequent  ones  of  the  same  kings,  of  which  W  illiam  the

must  be  remembered  that  Queen  Elizabeth  only  appears  in  the  1604  edition, 
that  James,  Anne,  Prince  Henry,  and  the  genealogical  tree  appear  In  both,

The  upright  lines  indicate  commas  and  not  ends  of  lines  on  the  title. 

The  six  additional  portraits  are  described  by  I^Vanken,  as  hereinafter 
mentioned,  but  as  separate  plates.  He  does  not  mention  the  16  13  edition 
of  the  book.  The  descriptions  ot  the  tour  portraits  in  the  1604  edition, 
and  the  nine  in  the  16  13  edition,  are  i^iva-n  by  Franken  as  follows,  but  it 
must  be  remembered  that  Queen  Elizabeth  only  appears  in  the  1  604  edition, 
that  James,  Anne,  Prince  Henry,  and  the  genealogical  tree  appear  in  both, 
while  the  other  six  only  appear  in  the  16  13  edition.  The  portrait  of  James 
is  considerably  changed  in  the  1613  edition  as  shown  on  Plate  39,  and  the 
portraits  of  Anne  and  Prince  Henry  are  also  retouched.

THE  HISTORY  OF  GREAT  BRITAINE  UNDER 
THE  CONQUESTS  OF  Y  ROMANS,  SAXONS, 
DANES  AND   NORMANS By   John  Speed. 


Imprinted  at  London  .  .  .  1611  .  .  . 

Large  folio  (usually  known  as  Speed's  Chronicle),  with  a  fine,  engraved 
title-page  containing  effigies  of  a  "  Romane,"  "  Britalne,"  Saxon,  Dane,  and 
Norman.    Engraver's  name  not  given. 

Itcontalns  woodcuts  of  ancient  Britaines  and  Pids — male  and  female — a 
large  number  of  coins  with  portraits  of  emperors  and  kings,  coats  of  arms, 
and  the  seals  of  the  English  monarchs  from  Edward  the  Confessor  to  James  I 
inclusive,  excepting  Harold. 

The  page  showing  the  seal  and  arms  of  Edward  V  is  reproduced  on 
Plate  44,  and  is  typical  of  the  other  illustrations. 

A  second  edition,  revised  and  enlarged,  was  issued  in  1623,  and,  without 
additions,  in  1625,  1627,  etc.,  the  date  being  changed  on  the  title-page  with 
each  Issue.    This  edition  contains  a  portrait  of  Speed  by  S.  Savery. 

A  third  edition,  small  folio,  revised,  enlarged,  and  newly  correded,  was 
issued  in  1632  and  1633.    This  also  contains  Savery's  portrait. 

The  woodcuts  of  seals  and  coins  are  well  executed,  though  not  to  be 
compared  with  the  copperplate  engravings  of  seals,  etc.,  in  Sandford's  book 
(1677,  1683,  and  1707),  hereinafter  described  and  illustrated.

some  being  excessively  rare,  but  most  of  them  can  be  found  in  the  great 
public  colledions,  and,  by  expending  a  considerable  amount  of  time  and 
patience,  and  a  fair  amount  of  cash,  we  can  acquire  a  representative  series, 
even  if  somjs  of  the  rarest  entirely  elude  our  search. 

BAZILInLOGIA,  16 18 

This  volume  was  published  in  161  8,  without  text,  and  with  the  title- 
page  reproduced  on  Plate  45.  There  are  only  ten  copies  of  this  edition 
(including  my  own)  of  which  I  have  any  knowledge :  no  two  are  alike,  only 
seven  are  bound,  and  not  one  is  in  its  original  binding.  As  a  rule  the  various 
authorities  state  that  the  series  consisted  of  the  title-page  and  thirty-one 
portraits  from  William  the  Conqueror  to  James  I  inclusive,  and  also  includ- 
ing John  of  Gaunt,  Edward  the  Black  Prince,  Mary  Queen  of  Scots,  Anne 
Boleyn,  Anne  of  Denmark,  and  Princes  Henry  and  Charles,  son  of  James  I. 

For  the  reasons  given  in  the  Grolier  Club  publication  the  set,  in  my 
opinion,  consisted  of  twenty-seven  leaves— the  title-page  and  twenty-six 
portraits —those  of  John  of  Gaunt,  the  Black  Prince,  Mary  Queen  of  Scots, 
and  Princes  Henry  and  Charles  not  belonging  to  the  series.  Several  of  the 
copies  also  contain  a  large  number  of  similar  portraits  of  important  persons 
bound  up  with  the  royal  portraits,  which  do  not  belong  to  the  series  proper, 
though  otherwise  they  are  of  great  interest.  Of  the  twenty-six  belonging  to 
the  set,  all  were  engraved  by,  or  where  anonymous  are  attributed  to,  Renold 
Elstrack,  excepting: 

Henry  VIll.  Two  types;  one  by  Francis  Delaram  (Type  A),  and  the 
other  anonymous,  but  probably  not  by  Elstrack  (Type  B). 

Edward  VI.    Simon  van  de  Passe. 

Mary.    Delaram. 

Elizabeth.  Two  types;  one  by  Delaram  (Type  A),  and  the  other  by 
W.  Kip  (Type  C).    There  is  a  third  (Type  B),  but  this  is  signed  by  Elstrack. 

James  I.    Simon  van  de  Passe. 

Anne  of  Denmark.    Simon  van  de  Passe. 

Some  of  the  portraits  appeared  before  the  Baziiiioiogia,  and  some,  in 
later  states,  in  other  connexions. 

The  types  A,  B,  and  C  are  fully  described  in  the  Grolier  Club  essay, 
and  are  as  follows : 

There  are  two  portraits  of  William  the  Conqueror.   Type  A  is  repro-

duced  on  Plate  46.  It  is  a  fair  sample  of  the  entire  series.  In  some  copies 
of  the  161  8  edition,  and  in  all  other  issues  of  the  portraits  as  book-illustra- 
tions, another  portrait,  which  I  designate  Type  B,  appears.  This  is  similar 
to  the  portrait  shown  on  Plate  77. 

There  are  two  of  Henry  VIII.  Type  A  is  the  well-known  Holbein 
head,  while  Type  B  is  shown  on  plate  47. 

There  are  three  of  Elizabeth.  Type  A  is  by  Delaram  and  has  verses 
beginning 


and  ending

It  is  No.  270  in  O'Donoghue's  catalogue.  Type  B  isby  Elstrack — No.  214 
in  O'Donoghue — and  is  the  true  Baziliulogia  type.  Type  C  is  by  Kip,  but 
the  signature  is  erased  before  it  appears  in  the  Baziliuyiogia  ;  it  is  No.  81 
in  O'Donoghue.  Of  the  others  usually  included,  but  which  I  eliminate, 
John  of  Gaunt  was  engraved  by  G.  Y.  (George  Yates),  Edward  the  Black 
Prince  and  Mary  Queen  of  Scots  by  Elstrack,  Prince  Henry  by  Delaram 
and  Prince  Charles  by  Simon  van  de  Passe. 

The  various  types  of  William  I,  Henry  VIII,  and  Queen  Elizabeth  are 
found  in  the  several  copies  of  the  Bazi/icologia  which  1  have  mentioned ; 
some  containing  more  than  one  type,  and  one  containing  all  of  them.

edition  appeared,  with  substantially  the  same  title  as  the  >J/  of  these  just 
mentioned,  but  with  the  woodcut  frame  from  the  second.  This  edition  was 
"  Printed  for  lames  Boler." 

The  British  Museum  copy  of  this  edition  contains  the  complete  series 
of  portraits  from  William  the  Conqueror  to  Henry  VIII,  in  the  same  states 
as  in  the  161 8  edition  of  the  BaziliJogia;  William  the  Conqueror  and 
Henry  VllI  both  being  type  B. 


BAZILIQLOGIA,   1630 

Two  series  of  Baziluologia  portraits  were  published  by  Thomas  Geele 
«^/  the  dagger  in  lumbard  street;'  his  address  being  substituted  for  the 
earlier  publisher.  One  set  is  numbered,  and  the  other  is  not,  the  numbered 
ones  running  from  William  the  Conqueror  (No.  i)  to  Elizabeth  (No.  23). 
At  least  one  of  these  sets  was  issued  in  1630,  with  the  same  engraved  title- 
page  as  the  16 1 8  edition  (Plate  45)  excepting  that  Geele's  name  appears  in 
place  of  the  two  Hollands,  as  follows  : 

Are  to  be  sould  by  Thomas  Geele  at  the  dagger  in  Lumbard  Street.    1630. 

The  only  known  specimen  of  this  title-page  is  in  the  coUedion  of  His 
Majesty  King  George  V,  who  graciously  permitted  me  to  reproduce  it  as  a 
frontispiece  to  the  essay  published  by  the  Grolier  Club  hereinbefore  men- 
tioned. 

I  only  know  of  three  or  four  specimens  with  Geele's  address  ;  excepting 
those  in  my  own  collection,  which  includes  a  complete  numbered  set  from 
William  the  Conqueror  to  Elizabeth  inclusive,  excepting  John  and 
Edward  VI,  and  the  following  without  numbers:  Mary,  Elizabeth,  and 
Prince  Henry.  An  unnumbered  specimen  of  Anne  Boleyn  is  in  the  King's 
colledion,  and  one  of  Henry  VII  in  the  Bibliotheque  Nationale,  Paris. 

William  the  Conqueror  and  Henry  VIII  are  always  type  B  when  they 
have  Geele's  address,  and  Elizabeth  is  type  C,  that  of  Henry  VIII  being 
reproduced  on  Plate  47,  as  hereinbefore  mentioned.

This  contains  the  Bazi/iJogia  series  of  portraits  from  William  the 
Conqueror  to  Elizabeth  inclusive,  excepting  that  a  second  impression  of 
Richard  I  appears  In  the  place  of  John,  and  Edward  VI  Is  a  poor  copy,  In 
reverse,  of  the  Baziiiwiogia  type. 

A  second  Impression  of  Elizabeth  appears  In  the  place  of  Mary,  and 
there  are  very  poor  portraits,  not  of  the  BaziiiJogia  type,  of  James  I, 
Charles  I,  and  Charles  II.  All  the  plates  are  badly  worn.  The  portrait  of 
Richard  I  with  the  page  of  text  in  which  it  appears  Is  reproduced  on 
Plate  51.  By  comparing  this  with  Plate  49,  the  difference  between  the  two 
Issues  with  text  can  be  easily  seen. 

Some  of  the  plates  are  found  in  other  states,  and,  as  single  Illustrations, 
in  other  books,  a  full  description  of  which  will  be  found  In  the  Grolier  Club 

publication. 

The  average  size   of  the  BaziliJogia  portraits  Is  about  4-J-  by  ']\  in. 

Including  the  inscription.

Portrait  of  Richard  I. 

Fifth  state,  from  Flonts  Br'itannicus,  1662.    British  Museum  copy 

Size  of  portrait,  exclusive  of  inscription,  4^  by  5^  in. 


98 


FLORUS  BRITANNICUS,   1662 


99 


This  contains  the  Baziiicologia  series  of  portraits  from  William  the 
Conqueror  to  Elizabeth  inclusive,  excepting  that  a  second  impression  of 
Richard  I  appears  in  the  place  of  John,  and  Edward  VI  Is  a  poor  copy,  in 
reverse,  of  the  Baziiiwlogia  type. 

A  second  impression  of  Elizabeth  appears  in  the  place  of  Mary,  and 
there  are  very  poor  portraits,  not  of  the  BaziliJ.ogia  type,  of  James  I, 
Charles  I,  and  Charles  II.  All  the  plates  are  badly  worn.  The  portrait  of 
Richard  I  with  the  page  of  text  in  which  it  appears  is  reproduced  on 
Plate  51.  By  comparing  this  with  Plate  49,  the  difference  between  the  two 
Issues  with  text  can  be  easily  seen. 

Some  of  the  plates  are  found  in  other  states,  and,  as  single  illustrations, 
in  other  books,  a  full  description  of  which  will  be  found  in  the  Grolier  Club 

publication. 

The  average  size   of  the  BaziliJogia  portraits  is  about  4I  by  y}  in. 

including  the  inscription.

Beginningwlth  William  the  Conqueror  the  portraits  are  numbered  from 
one  to  twenty-two,  this  being  the  number  on  the  portrait  of  Mary,  except- 
ing that  Stephen  is  unnumbered.  Then  follow  Elizabeth,  James,  and 
Charles  (as  Prince)  unnumbered,  making  twenty-five  in  all.  These  will  be 
specifically  described  later  on. 

I  have  a  copy  which  unfortunately  lacks  the  title-page  and  first  three 
portraits,  but  it  is  undoubtedly  the  1621  edition,  as  it  is  quite  different 
from  that  of  1622,  and  the  plates  are  a  different  state  from  those  in  the 
edition  of  161 8.  The  text  is  also  slightly  different,  as  can  be  seen  by  the 
two  pages  reproduced  on  Plate  53. 

The  plates  in  the  161 8  edition  are  as  follows,  and  as  they  also  appear 
(some  of  them  in  different  states)  in  the  162  i  edition,  a  few  in  the  1655 
edition  of  Gardiner's  Englands  Grievance  Discovered,  and  in  one  or  two 
other  books,  the  various  states  are  all  mentioned  together. 

Unless  changes  are  noted,  it  is  to  be  assumed  that  the  only  difference 
between  the  earlier  and  later  states  is  that  the  latter  show  considerable  re- 
touching and  more  signs  of  wear,  while  those  which  appear  in  Gardiner's 
book  have  text  on  the  verso. 

All  are  about  3I  to  3]:  in.  wide  and  3^  to  3  J  in.  high,  exclusive  of  the 
inscription.  No  name  of  engraver  or  publisher  is  shown,  excepting  on  the 
portrait  of  Queen  Elizabeth  which  bears  the  name  of  "  Compton  Holland 

Excudit." 

William  I 

The  first  state  as  it  appears  in  the  16 18  edition  is  shown  on  Plate  54. 

The  second  state,  shown  on  the  same  plate,  has  a  background  of  parallel 

lines.    This  is  from  a  loose  specimen  in  the  British  Museum,  but  I  do  not 

know  whether  it  appeared  in  the  1621  edition  in  this  state  or  the  first.

the  number  erased  and  the  inscription  changed  so  as  to  read  "  Vae  tibi  Terra, 
cuius  Rex  Puer  est,"  but  traces  of  the  old  inscription  can  still  be  seen. 

As  it  appears  in  Gardiner  with  the  old  inscription,  either  the  old  inscrip- 
tion was  re-engraved,  or  the  whole  plate  in  Gardiner  is  a  copy.  There  is  no 
doubt  whatever  as  to  the  1630  impression  being  from  the  old  plate,  and  I 
am  convinced  that  the  Gardiner  impression  is  from  the  same  plate  also,  with 
the  title  re-engraved.

hand,  which  is  invisible,  sceptre  in  right.  Bonnet  on  head;  on  the  back  of 
bonnet  an  arched  crown  surmounted  by  a  cross. 

Numbered  22.    Has  following  inscription  : 

Maria  nata  Grenouici  ii  febrii:  1505 
Incipit  regnare  6  lull  1553 
Regnauit  5  annos  et  4  mensis. 
Obyt  annos  nata  45  et  9  mensis. 

Same  in  both  editions.    In  Gardiner  the  number  22  is  erased. 

This  portrait  also  appears  on  the  back  of  the  title  to  Annales  of  England, 
the  third  book,  in  the  same  manner  as  Edward  VI,  the  title  being  changed 
to  "Fortissimi  quique  interfedi  sunt  ab  ea,"  and  the  number  erased.  The 
same  observations  apply  as  in  the  case  of  Edward  VI. 

Elizabeth 
The  portrait  of  Elizabeth  is  shown  on  Plate  58.  In  Gardiner  it  is  the 
same,  and  it  is  probably  the  same  in  the  1621  edition,  as  that  edition  was 
published  by  Compton  Holland  (as  is  hereinafter  shown)  and  his  name 
appears  on  the  portrait.  On  the  other  hand  the  only  copy  of  the  1621 
edition  I  have  seen,  is  one  in  my  possession  and  that  contains  the  other 
portrait  shown  on  the  same  plate. 

James  I 
The  three  states  of  this  portrait  are  shown  on  Plate  59. 
The  first  state  is  from  the   16 18  edition,  the  second  from  the    162 1 
edition,  while  the  third  appears  in  Gardiner.

the  number  erased  and  the  inscription  changed  so  as  to  read  "  Va;  tibi  Terra, 
cuius  Rex  Puer  est,"  but  traces  of  the  old  inscription  can  still  be  seen. 

As  it  appears  in  Gardiner  with  the  old  inscription,  either  the  old  inscrip- 
tion was  re-en(rraved,  or  the  whole  plate  in  Gardiner  is  a  copy.  There  is  no 
doubt  whatever  as  to  the  1630  impression  being  from  the  old  plate,  and  I 
am  convinced  that  the  Gardiner  impression  is  from  the  same  plate  also,  with 


the  title  re-engraved.

Same  in  both  editions.    In  Gardiner  the  number  22  is  erased. 

This  portrait  also  appears  on  the  back  of  the  title  to  yhnmles  of  England, 
the  third  book,  in  the  same  manner  as  Edward  \T,  the  title  being  changed

inscription  :

Garter  &c. 

Same  in  both  editions. 


1 62 1  edition  of  first  issue 

A  BRIEFE  REMEMBRANCE  OF  ALL  THE  ENGLISH 

MONARCHS 

The  only  copy  of  this  edition  I  have  seen  is  in  my  possession  and,  as 
hereinbefore  stated,  lacks  the  title-page  and  first  three  portraits,  while  the 
portrait  of  Elizabeth  is  the  second  one  shown  on  Plate  58.  Otherwise  the 
portraits  are  the  same,  though  they  show  signs  of  wear,  and  in  some  cases 
changes  have  been  made,  as  set  forth  in  the  foregoing  list. 

It  is  interesting  to  note  the  close  resemblance  of  the  first  portrait  of 
Elizabeth  and  the  second  state  of  the  portrait  of  James  I  to  those  in  the 
Baziliojlogia. 

Item  4193  in  the  Bliss  Catalogue,  which  is  hereinafter  quoted  In  full,  is 
probably  the  same  as  mine — possibly  they  are  the  same  volume,  as  they 
both  lack  the  title-page  and  three  portraits — and  they  are  undoubtedly  later 
than  the  Museum  copy  of  161 8,  as  is  definitely  proved  by  the  states  of  the 
portraits  of  F^dward  III,  Henry  VlII,  and  James.  The  portrait  of  Elizabeth 
in  my  copy  may  belong  there,  but  1  do  not  think  so,  as  the  portrait  in 
Gardiner's  book,  which  appeared  later,  is  the  same  as  that  in  the  Museum 
copy  of  161 8.  It  would  be  satisfadory  definitely  to  discover  the  d^e  of 
the  later  edition,  which  I  refer  to  as  that  of  1621,  and  the  following  seems 

to  be  the  clue. 

In  Ellis's  (of  29  New  Bond  Street,  London)  Catalogue  No.  73  for  1891 
the  following  item  is  to  be  found: 

606  TAYLOR  (John,  the  Water-poet),  A  Briefe  Remembrance  of  all  the  English 
Monarchs,  from  the   Normans  Conquest    untill   this   present.     London^   Printed  for

Kings  engraved  by  Hollar  inserted,  blue  morocco  extra,  4/.  4^- 

I  can  find  no  other  reference  to  a  copy  bearing  this  date,  and  the  present 
partners  of  Messrs.  Ellis  can  give  me  no  information  other  than  that  con- 
tained in  the  catalogue.  This,  however,  is  so  specific  that  .t  can  be  assumed 
to  be  corred.  It  is  particularly  interesting  to  note  that  Compton  Holland 
was  the  publisher,  and  it  must  be  remembered  that  his  name  appears  on  the 
portrait  of  Queen  Elizabeth  as  found  in  the   1618  edition  and  n.  Gardiner. 

The  portraits,  if  by  Hollar,  do  not  belong  to  the  volume.

ENGLANDS  GRIEVANCE  DISCOVERED,  by  Ralph  Gardiner. 

Certain    of   these    plates    were    thereafter    used   to  illustrate    the    above- 
mentioned  book,  the  title-page  to  which  is  shown  on  Plate  60.. 

The  book  contains  6  pp.  unnumbered  and  211   numoere.,  5 ,  by  7  in. 

The  following  is  a  list  of  the  plates  in  the  only  two  copies  1  have  seen 
that  in  the  British   Museum,  and  mine  which   was  formerly  m   the   Huth 
colleaion.    In   the   Museum  copy  the  following  plates  have  been   inserted, 

and  do  not  belong  to  the  book:  ,      ,       •      •

1796 
Second  edition  of  GARDINER'S  BOOK 

One  reference  I  have  seen  relative  to  this  edition  states  that  it  contains 
feeble  impressions  of  the  plates  from  Taylor's  book,  but  in  the  only  copy  I 
have  examined,  the  portrait  plates  are  well  engraved  in  stipple  by  W.  Ridley, 
and  only  the  others,  of  sinking  ships,  etc.,  are  copied  from  theold  plates.  The 
folding  plan  is  also  copied  from  the  early  edition.  The  portrait  of  Edward  I 
from  this  series  is  shown  on  Plate  61.  Lowndes,  in  referring  to  the  1796 
edition,  says  that  the  plates  are  inferior  to  those  in  the  edition  of  1655. 
This,  and  the  other  reference  I  have  mentioned,  seem  to  indicate  that  there 
was  an  edition  of  T796  with  poor  impressions  of  the  old  plates  so  poor 
that  the  new  plates  were  engraved   by   Ridley  and   substituted   tor  the  old

the  "Editor's  Address,"  in  the  only  copy  of  this  edition  I  have  seen,  states

The  only  other  books  I  have  found  with  any  portraits  of  this  series  are 

the  following :

THE  WORKS  OF  JOHN  TAYLOR

These  two  of  James  (Plate  64)  and  Charles  (Plate  6s)  are  much  finer 
than  the  others,  the  latter  bearing  the  initials  R.E.  (Renold  Elstrack). 

It  is  probable  that  the  portrait  of  James  is  also  by  Elstrack. 

The  text  relating  to  William  1  is  on  the  verso  of  the  title,  followed  by 
the  portrait  of  William  I  with  blank  verso.  Then  follows  the  verses  about 
William  I,  and  on  the  verso  the  text  relative  to  William  II,  followed  by  the 
portrait  of  William  II  with  blank  verso,  and  so  on  through  the  volume. 

Signature  B  is  on  page  with  verses  about  Stephen. 

Signature  C  on  page  with  verses  about  Henry  III. 

Signature  D  on  page  with  verses  about  Richard  II. 

Signature  E  on  page  with  verses  about  Edward  IV. 

Signature  F  on  page  with  verses  about  Henry  VIII. 

Signature  G  on  page  with  verses  about  James. 

The  following  is  a  description  of  the  portraits,  and  on  three  ot  the 
plates  the  woodcuts  from  the  1630  edition  (hereinafter  described)  are  also 
shown.

The  portrait  from  the  1622  edition  is  reproduced,  and  also  the  rough 
woodcut  copy  from  the  1630  edition,  on  Plate  62.

These  two  of  James  (Plate  64)  and  Charles  (Plate  65)  are  much  finer 
than  the  others,  the  latter  hearing  the  initials  R.K.  (Renokl  Klstrack). 

It  is  probable  that  the  portrait  of  James  is  also  by  Elstrack. 

The  text  relating  to  William  I  is  on  the  verso  of  the  title,  followed  by 
the  portrait  of  William  1  with  blank  verso.  Then  follows  the  verses  about 
William  I,  and  on  the  verso  the  text  relative  to  William  II,  followed  by  the 
portrait  of  William  II  with  blank  verso,  and  so  on  through  the  volume. 

Siirnature  B  is  on  page  with  verses  about  Stephen. 

Signature  C  on  page  with  verses  about  Henry  III. 

Signature  I)  on  page  with  verses  about  Richard  II. 

Si<mature  E  on  page  with  verses  about  Edward  IV  . 

Signature  F  on  page  with  verses  about  Henry  VIII. 

Signature  G  on  page  with  verses  about  James. 

The  following  is  a  description  of  the  portraits,  and  on  three  of  the 
plates  the  woodcuts  from  the  1630  edition  (hereinafter  described)  are  also 
shown.

THE  WORKS  OF  JOHN  TAYLOR  133 

The  collation,  as  given  in  the  Grolier  Club  "  Catalogue  of  Original  and 
Early  Editions  of  some  of  the  Poetical  and  Prose  Works  of  English  Writers 
from  Wither  to  Prior,"  3  vols.,  1905,  is  as  follows: 

A,  two  leaves. 

B — F6,  in  eights. 

Title  is  A I  (verso  blank). 

Dedication  in  verse  to  Lionel,  Lord  Cranfield,  A 2. 

The  work  in  verse,  Bi — F6  (verso  blank). 

The  work  is  liberally  interspersed  with  small  woodcut  portraits,  very 
roughly  engraved,  one  or  more  being  printed  on  each  page. 

The  first  page  of  verse  is  reproduced  from  the  Museum  copy  on 
Plate  67,  the  same  size  as  the  original. 

Lowndes  gives  the  number  of  pages  as  80,  and  states  that  it  has  a 
"portrait  of  Taylor  wh.  length  with  his  badge  inscribed  LR.  as  Waterman 
to  James  1,  oar  and  empty  purse,  by  T.  Cockson."  Sotheby,  in  the  Bliss 
Catalogue  (which  is  hereinafter  quoted  in  full),  doubts  its  existence.  The 
description  in  Lowndes  corresponds  with  the  portrait  as  it  appears  in 
Taylors  Motto.  Et  Habeo,  Et  Careo,  Et  Curo,  London,  Printed  for  L.  T  ^ 
H  G,  1 62 1.,  which  shows  Taylor  on  a  rock  in  the  midst  of  the  sea,  a  globe 
surmounted  by  an  open  book  between  his  legs.  His  right  hand  holds  an 
oar  in  a  perpendicular  position,  blade  uppermost,  over  which  are  the  words 
"Et  habeo."  He  is  hatless,  and  on  a  scroll  coming  out  of  his  mouth  are 
the  words  "  Et  euro."  In  his  left  hand  is  an  empty  purse,  over  which  are 
the  words  "  Et  Careo."  On  the  rock  is  a  scroll  with  the  words  "  Happy  in 
miserye."  A  blazing  sun  is  In  the  upper  right-hand  corner.  Above  is  the 
title,  below  is  the  imprint. 

This  is  not  in  the  Museum  copy  and  is  not  mentioned  in  the  descrip- 
tion of  the  Hoe  copy.  It  probably  does  not  belong  in  the  book,  yet  it  may 
have  been  used. 

The  size  of  the  Museum  copy  is  4  by  5  J  In. 

The  next  edition  appeared  In  1630,  with  the  title-page  also  shown  on 
Plate  66.  It  will  be  observed  that  the  heads  surrounding  the  title  differ 
from  those  in  the  1622  edition. 

The  size  of  the  Museum  copy  is  4  by  6|  In. 

In  this  edition  the  verses  on  King  James  are  changed  so  as  to  cover  his 
death,  and  six  lines  on  King  Charles  I  are  added  together  with  his  portrait.

Dedication  in  verse  to  Lionel,  Lord  Cranfield,  A 2. 

The  work  in  verse,  Bi — ¥6  (verso  blank). 

The  work  is  liberally  interspersed  with  small  woodcut  portraits,  very 
roughly  engraved,  one  or  more  being  printed  on  each  page. 

The  first  page  of  verse  is  reproduced  from  the  Museum  copy  on 
Plate  67,  the  same  size  as  the  original. 

Lowndes  gives  the  number  of  pages  as  80,  and  states  that  it  has  a 
"portrait  of  Taylor  wh.  length  with  his  badge  inscribed  LR.  as  Waterman 
to  James  I,  oar  and  empty  purse,  by  T.  Cockson."  Sotheby,  in  the  Bliss 
Catalogue  (which  is  hereinafter  quoted  in  full),  doubts  its  existence.  The 
description  in  Lowndes  corresponds  with  the  portrait  as  it  appears  in 
Taylors  Mollo.  Et  Habeo,  Et  Careo,  Et  Curo,  London,  Printed  for  Z.  T*  ^ 
H  G,  1 62  I.,  which  shows  Taylor  on  a  rock  in  the  midst  of  the  sea,  a  globe 
surmounted  by  an  open  book  between  his  legs.  His  right  hand  holds  an 
oar  in  a  perpendicular  position,  blade  uppermost,  over  which  are  the  words 
"Et  habeo."  He  is  hatless,  and  on  a  scroll  coming  out  of  his  mouth  are

have  been  used. 

The  size  of  the  Museum  copy  is  4  by  5;  in. 

The  next  edition  appeared  in  1630,  with  the  title-page  also  shown  on 
Plate  66.  It  will  be  observed  that  the  heads  surrounding  the  title  differ 
from  those  in  the  1622  edition. 

The  size  of  the  Museum  copy  is  4  by  61  in. 

In  this  edition  the  verses  on  King  James  are  changed  so  as  to  cover  his 
death,  and  six  lines  on  King  Charles  I  are  added  together  with  his  portrait.

is  as  follows :

following  Catalogue,"  G^ — G6  (verso  blank).    Two  blank  leaves,  Gy — G8. 

In  the  Museum  copy  is  a  portrait  of  Charles  I  engraved  by  S.  Savery 
atter  Van  Dvck ;  a  plate  with  map  of  England,  Scotland,  and  Ireland, 
above  which  are  twenty-five  small  heads  of  kings  and  queens  in  circles  from 
William  I  to  Charles  I  inclusive,  and  in  the  same  compartment  with  the 
map,  the  three  heads,  likewise  in  circles,  of  Oliver  Cromwell,  Richard 
Cromwell,  and  G.  M.  (Monk).  Also  a  plate  showing  Britannia,  being  the 
frontispiece  from  the  early  editions  of  Medulla  Historic  Anglicanct\  which 
it  is  interesting  to  compare  with  Plate  86  hereof  These  last  two  inserted 
illustrations  are  reproduced  on  Plate  81.  None  of  these  belong  in  the  book, 
though  Lowndes  mentions  the  portrait,  and  one  was  in  the  Bliss  copy  as 
hereinafter  mentioned. 

In  the  same  year  as  the  second  edition  (1630)  the  volume  of  Taylor's 
Colleded  Works  was  published  as  hereinbefore  mentioned.  The  Memorial 
appeared  on  pages  268  to  294  inclusive,  with  the  same  woodcut  portraits, 
same  dedication,  verses,  etc.,  printed,  as  is  most  of  the  book,  in  double 
columns.  The  "Catalogue"  is  not  printed  after  this  sedlion,  but  is  on  the 
second  leaf  of  siijnature  A  2.

by  the  Name  and  Title  of  the  portrait  following.

In  this  edition  the  twenty-five  portraits  are  full-lengths,  5^  inches  by  3^.  The 
last  three  portraits  are  engraved  in  a  very  superior  manner  to  the  resjt.  The  final  one, 
"Charles  Prince  of  Wales,"  is  very  delicately  executed  and  bears  the  initials  of  the 
engraver  Eistrack,  "  R.E.  Sculp.''  Preceding  each  portrait  is  the  name  of  the  Monarch, 
accompanied  with  a  biographical  notice,  as  in  the  preceding  edition,  the  note  of  William 
the  First  occurring  on  the  reverse  of  the  title,  the  other  notices  being  on  the  reverses 
of  the  intervening  leaves,  the  redo  of  each  being  occupied  by  the  laudatory  Sonnet, 
between  borders,  as  in  the  previous  edition.  The  volume  closes  on  G.  3,  the  portraits 
numbering  in  the  collation  of  the  sheets. 

This  is  the  only  copy  *  I  have  ever  seen.  The  work  is  mentioned  in  Lowndes, 
but  without  any  note  of  existing  copies.

THK   WORKS  OF    fOUX  TAYI.OR 


The  work,  divided  into  two  parts,  i^  dedicated  "  To  the  Right  Honourable  Lionel 
Lord  Cranfield,  Lord  High  Treasurer  of  England,"  t^c.  To  each  memorial  is  a 
woodcut  portrait. 

Altm.  I  want  to  >ee  another  copv.  Lowndes  states,  on  the  authority  of  Bromley, 
that  thi>  edition  has  "  a  whole-length  portrait  of  Tavlor,  with  his  Badge  inscribed  I.R. 
as  Waterman  to  King  James  L  Oar  and  empty  purse,  by  T.  Coolcson  [i/V],  and 
woodcuts."    The  copy  in  the  library  of  Mr.  Skegg,  sold  here  in  1H42,  did  not  have  it. 

Though  Dr.  Bliss  did  not  possess  a  copv  of  this  edition,  I  have  here  inserted  a  note 
of  it  in  the  hope  that  should  any  collector  possess  one  he  will  kindly  favour  me  with  a 
sight  of  it. 

[In  the  copy  ot  Dr.  Bliss's  catalogue  now  before  me  there  is  a  pencil 
note  signed  W.F.F.,  as  follows: 

"The  portrait  referred  to  by  Mr.  Sotheby  did  not  originally  appear  in  the  work 
noted  above,  and  the  copy  described  by  Bromley  evidences  it.  Thi>  full  length  portrait 
was  engraved  for  Taylor's  'Motto'  which  appeared  the  ve.ir  preceding  the  above 
mentioned  work,"]

The  title  of  this  edition  is  also  surrounded  by  fourteen  small  and  coarsely  executed 
woodcut  portraits.  It  is  also  dedicated  to  Lord  Cranfield,  but,  as  "  Earl  of  Middlesex." 
The  dedication  occupies  A  3  and  4,  and  thus  cominence^;: 

"  My  humble  Muse,  in  lofty  manner  sings  « 

A  catalogue  of  England's  mighty  Kings: 
At  first  I  do  beirin  with  Troian  Brvte, 
And  following  Chronicles  I  do  dispute, 
Proceeding  briefly  with  their  Raiijnes  and  Names, 
Till  these  blest  dayes  of  our  best  xVlonarch  lames." 

The  work,  in  verse,  accompam'ed  by  historical  and  biographical  observations  in 
prose,  then  commences  on  A  5  (a  small  woodcut  portrait  preceding  each  King)  and 
ends  on  the  recto  of  (},  the  portrait  of  Charles  I.  occupying  the  centre  of  the  page. 
Two  leaves  follow,  enumerating  the  61  pieces  which  "This  Avthor  hath  newly  caused 
all  his  works  (being  above  60)  to  bee  print  into  one  Wdume,  the  Names  of  all  whic  h 
VVorks  are  set  downe  in  this  following  catalogue." 


THE  WORKS  OF  JOHN  TAYLOR  137 

A  full-length  portrait  (apparently  by  Stent)  of  King  Charles  precedes  the  title-paire. 
Beneath  it  is  engraved 

"Are  to  be  Sould  by  John  Stafford  in 

blacke  horse  ally  near  fleet  bridge  1631." 

Though  the  portrait  bears  the  date  of  163 1,  yet  the  three  or  four  copies  that  have 
turned  up  have,  with  the  exception  of  Mr.  Skegg's  and  the  present,  not  had  the 
portrait.  Dr.  Bliss  has,  in  his  copy,  made  note,  1834,  that  "Mr.  Graves,  the  Print- 
seller  never  saw  or  heard  of  it,  and  positively  offered  him  ^10.  los.  for  it."

I  61  3   AND  TIME  OF  CHARLES  I 
GAULTIER'S  SERIES 

A  VERY  curious  series  consists  of  138  portraits  engraved  in  line,  with 
descriptive  text  in  French.  Printed  on  one  side  of  the  paper,  cut  out  to  fit 
woodcut  borders,  and  laid  down.  I  have  only  seen  two  copies.  One  has  a 
printed  title  within  an  oval,  woodcut,  highly  ornamental  border,  as  follows: 

Portraits 

des 

Roys 

D'Angleterre 

Depuis  Brutus,  iusques  au 

Roy  Charles  du 

nom,  a  present 

regnant. 

This  fixes  the  approximate  date. 

The  size  of  the  page,  measured  from  the  inside  of  the  border,  is  about 
6  by  I  of  in.  This  copy  is  not  complete,  as  there  is  a  break  between 
Morgan  2,  No.  30,  and  Cimbellinus,  No.  66. 

It  is  bound  up  with  Abbrege  de  rUistoire  Francoise,  Avec  les  Effigies  des 
Roys,  depuis  Pharamond  iusques  au  Roy  Louys  XIII.  a  present  regnant. 
,  .  .  A  Paris,  Chez  lean  le  Clerrc.  .  .  .  M.DC.XVIL 

The  other  copy  is  complete,  but  the  title  is  written  in  an  engraved  oval, 
highly  ornamented,  supported  by  two  nude  children  supporting  a  crown, 
the  one  on  the  left  blowing  a  trumpet,  the  other  holding  a  trumpet  aloft  in 
the  left  hand.    Below  are  the  words  "-firens  excudit:' 

The  woodcut  borders  are  different  from  those  in  the  first  copy,  and  the 
size  of  the  page,  measured  from  the  inside  of  the  borders,  is  6  J  by  iii-  in. 

A  typical  page  from  this  second  copy  is  reproduced  on  Plate  71.

Mr.  Louis  Fagan,  in  his  catalogue  of  Faithorne's  engravings,  published

The  title,  which  is  engraved  on  a  separate  [should  be  the  same]  plate  with  the

Mary — Elizabeth.

Charles  I — Henrietta  Maria. 
Prince  Charles — Prince  James. 
A  set  of  proofs  on  vellum,  taken  before  the  plates  were  cut,  is   in   the  British 
Museum  (Sykes's  Sale,  £i  i  5^.). 

My  copy  was  purchased  at  the  Huth  Sale  in  June  1913,  and  consists  of 
the  title,  and  portraits  to  James  I  and  Anne  of  Denmark  inclusive,  two 
on  each  plate,  the  title  and  portrait  of  William  the  Conqueror  being  on  the 
first  plate.  (See  reprodudion  on  Plate  74.)  None  of  the  plates  are  cut  in 
this  copy.  The  set  is  undoubtedly  complete  as  originally  issued.  On  the 
verso  of  the  sheet  containing  the  portraits  ot  James  and  Anne  in  contem- 
poraneous writing  IS  the  tollowing: 

[o.  Palmer 

and  what  appears  to  be  the  price— u.  6J. 

The  date  is  important,  as  it  indicates  that  the  set  was  published  in  1643 
or  earlier. 

The  set  is  also  mentioned  in  William  Fleming's  catalogue  of  Faithorne's 
Works  (Chester,  1870),  a  rare  book  which  seems  to  have  been  unknown  to 

Pagan. 

Copies  of  these  portraits  appear  m  It^oodhurns  Gallery  of  Rare  Portraits^ 
2  vols.,  London,    18  16,  hereinattcr  mentioned. 

At  a  later  date  the  portraits  ot  Charles  I  and  his  queen,  Charles  II  as 
Prince  of  Wales,  and  James,  Duke  ot  York,  were  added,  but  I  do  not  think 
thev  beloncjed  to  the  original  set. 

These  same  plates,  excepting  Queens  Anne  and  Henrietta  Maria  and 
Princes  Charles  and  James,  are  found  in  the  third  edition  ot  Lambert 
Wood's  Florus  Jn^iuus^  London,  1658,  printed  for  Simon  Miller. 

In  Early  Engraving  and  Engravers  in  England^  Sir  Sidney  Colvin  says 
(page  130): 

If  Faithorne  is  reallv  the  engraver  of  these  and  other  prints  like  them,  we  must 
suppose  that  at  that  time,  that  is  about  1638- 1640,  he  was  doing  hack  work  for  Peake 
and  much  under  Glover's  influence.  If  tradition  is  right,  the  two  were  fellow-pupils 
under  Pavne,  and  judging  by  the  quality  of  Glover's  portrait  of  Dering  (1640),  it  was 
he  whose  power  ripened  first, 


'  Some  of  the  same  group  ot  similar  portraits  bear  the  address  of  Thomas 
and  John  Hinde  (or  Flind)  or  of  Thomas  Bancks.  At  least  five  of  this  group 
are  signed  by  George  Glover,  and  others  are  engraved  in  Glover's  manner. 
Those  of  the  .kings,  however,  are  unsigned  and  bear  the  address  of  Peake 
in  their  early  state  as  hereinbefore  mentioned. 

In  Florus  AngUcus  they  bear  no  address,  but  some  of  them  show  traces 
of  the  name  of  R.  Peake.  Some  of  the  plates,  including  the  inscription, 
have  been  re-engraved  (see  Henry  IIII  as  an  instance).  This  book  also 
contains  a  poor  anonymous  portrait  of  Charles  I  with  the  address  of  Fhos: 
Hind  at  the  Black  Bull  half  erased. 

Mr.  A.  M.  Hind,  in  his  appendix  to  Sir  Sidney  Colvin's  book,  notes 
these  portraits  under  the  name  of  Glover,  but  queries  the  attribution. 

The  first  edition  of  Florus  AngUcus  appeared  in  Amsterdam  in  1652,  the 
second  in  London  in  1657,  and  the  third  in  London  in  1658  as  noted.  The 
second  edition  contains  only  a  portrait  of  Charles  I,  under  which  is  the 
following : 

The  high  and  Mighty  Monarch  Charles  Late  King  of  England  Scotland  and 
Ireland  etc.    P.  Stent  excudit. 

The  portrait  of  Queen  Elizabeth  also  appeared  In  1658  in  Francis 
Osborne's  Historical  \  Memoires  \  on  |  the  Reigns  \  of  |  Queen  \  Elizabeth^  \ 
and  I  King  James  \  Eondon  \  Printed  by  F.  Grismond^  and  are  to  be  |  sold  by 
T.  Robinson  Bookseller  |  in  Oxon.  1658. 

The  address  Is  almost  entirely  erased. 

The  portrait  of  James  I  appeared  In  the  same  volume,  prefixed  to  the 
lite  of  that  king.    Traces  of  an  address  can  be  seen.

HOLLAR'S  MAP  OF  ENGLAND 

Wenceslaus  Hollar,  a  celebrated  engraver  and  etcher,  was  born  at  Pracrue 
in  1607.  In  1636  the  Earl  of  Arundel  met  him  at  Cologne,  took  him  at 
once  into  his  employment,  and  upon  his  return  to  England,  in  1637,  brought 
Hollar  with  him.  He  , was  imprisoned  during  the  Civil  War  (1645),  in 
which  he  took  the  part  of  the  Royalists,  and  on  obtaining  his  liberty  went 
to  Antwerp  for  some  years.  He  returned  to  England  in  1652,  and  died  in 
London  in  1677  >"  great  poverty. 

The  list  of  his  engravings  in  Gustav  Parthey's  catalogue  contains  2,733 
numbers,  but  many  of  these  contain  a  number  of  items,  so  that  the  adual 
number  of  his  prints  is  much  larger. 

He  engraved  many  single  portraits  of  English  royalties,  and  the  set 
herein  described. 

Parthey,  No.  651,  is  a  map  of  England  with  a  series  of  portraits  on  the 
borders,  from  William  the  Conqueror  to  King  Charles  I. 

The  entire  map,  on  a  reduced  scale,  is  shown  on  Plate  75. 

Three  of  the  portraits,  viz.,  William  the  Conqueror,  Edward  II,  and 
Queen  Elizabeth,  are  reproduced  on  Plate  76,  the  same  size  as  the  originals. 

Parthey,  No.  1398,  is  a  series  of  twenty-five  kings  from  William  the 
Conqueror  to  Charles  I.    They  apparently  are  the  same  as  No.  651. 

In  Vertue's  catalogue  of  Hollar's  Works,  published  in  1745,  these  heads 
are  classed  with  the  maps,  not  with  the  portraits.

SIR  RICHARD  BAKER'S  CHRONICLE 

The  first  edition  of  Chronicle  of  the  Ki*igs  of  England^  by  Sir  Richard  Baker, 
appeared  in  1641,  with  an  engraved  frontispiece  by  Wm.  Marshall;  the 
second  edition  in  1653;  the  third,  with  a  continuation  by  Edw.  Phillips, 
in  1660;  the  fourth  in  1665;  the  fifth  in  1670;  the  sixth  in  1674;  the 
seventh  in  1679;  the  eighth  in  1684;  the  ninth  in  1696,  and  the  best 
edition,  in  three  volumes,  with  two  continuations,  in  1730. 

A  Dutch  edition  appeared  In  1649  with  twenty-five  portraits  of  the 
English  monarchs  from  William  I  to  Charles  I  inclusive.  Each  plate  con- 
tains a  portrait,  about  3 J  by  4J  In  ,  with  Inscription  below,  and  a  panel  of 
arabesques  about  one  inch  wide  on  either  side,  excepting  Charles  I,  which 
is  an  oval,  engraved  by  C.  Danckertz,  after  Van  Dyck,  entirely  different 
from  the  others,  and  without  arabesques. 

All  the  portraits,  excepting  Henry  VIII,  Mary,  and  Charles,  are  reversed 
copies  of  the  heads  In  the  Baziliulogia  Series,  William  I  being  Type  B, 
Elizabeth  Type  A.  Henry  VIII  Is  very  different  from  the  Baziliulogia  type, 
having  a  full  face,  very  small  moustache  and  slight  fringe  of  whiskers.  Mary 
is  in  the  style  of  Hollar.    In  Baker  they  all  have  text  on.  the  verso. 

I  also  have  a  set  of  the  first  twenty-four  without  the  arabesques,  and 
with  the  plate-line  surrounding  portrait  and  inscription,  showing  that  the 
portions  containing  the  arabesques  had  been  cut  off,  although  In  some  of 
them  (see  the  portrait  of  Elizabeth  on  Plate  77)  traces  of  the  arabesques  can 
be  seen.  This  series  has  no  text  on  the  verso.  They  are  not  signed,  and  I 
cannot  discover  by  whom  they  were  engraved.    They  look  like  the  work  of

is  an  oval,  engraved  by  C.  Danckertz,  after  Van  Dyck,  entirely  different 
from  the  others,  and  without  arabesques. 

All  the  portraits,  excepting  Henry  VIII,  Mary,  and  Charles,  are  reversed 
copies  of  the  heads  in  the  Baziliuilogia  Series,  William  I  being  Type  B, 
Elizabeth  Type  A.  Henry  VI II  is  very  different  from  the  Baziliulogia  type, 
having  a  full  face,  very  small  moustache  and  slight  fringe  of  whiskers.  Mary 
is  in  the  style  of  Hollar.    In  Baker  they  all  have  text  on.  the  verso. 

I  also  have  a  set  of  the  first  twenty-four  without  the  arabesques,  and 
with  the  plate-line  surrounding  portrait  and  inscription,  showing  that  the 
portions  containing  the  arabesques  had  been  cut  off,  although  In  some  of 
them  (see  the  portrait  of  Elizabeth  on  Plate  77)  traces  of  the  arabesques  can 
be  seen.  This  series  has  no  text  on  the  verso.  They  are  not  signed,  and  I 
cannot  discover  by  whom  they  were  engraved.    They  look  like  the  work  of

were  not  in  the  First  Edition;  so  that  the  whole  Number  of  Sculps  in  this  Volume 
amount  to  an  Hundred  and  five.

the  Book,  and  likewise  any  other  that  may  have  been  Overlook'd  or  casually  Omitted. 

The  size  of  the  pages  in  this  edition  is  a  little  larger  than  in  the  others. 
It  is  considered  the  best,  though  some  prefer  the  plates  in  the  earlier. 

Pp.  12  (including  tittle)  +  878  +  26  unnumbered  pages  of  Index  and  i  of 
errata.  In  addition  some  of  the  plates  are  not  numbered  as  pages,  and  some 
bear  secondary  numbers:   for  instance,  548a,  548b,  etc. 

The  plates  of  the  seals  of  James  II,  William  and  Mary,  William  III 
alone,  and  Anne,  are  engraved  by  Van  der  Gucht. 

At  the  beginning  of  each  sedion  are  plates  of  the  kings,  arranged  in  sets 
of  two,  three,  or  four:  reprodudions  of  three  of  these  are  shown  on  Plate  79. 

In  the  first  two  editions  the  last  portrait  is  that  of  Charles  II,  while  in 
the  third,  the  portraits  of  James  II,  William  III,  Mary  II,  and  Anne  are 
added  (page  655). 

The  plate  by  Gaywood  of  the  herse  of  Prince  Henry  is  a  reversed  copy 
of  the  one  in  Holland's  Heruyologia. 

Plate  80  contains  reprodudions  of  pages  244  and  245  of  the  third 
edition,  and  shows  the  seals  of  Henry  IV  and  Henry  V.  The  seals  of  all 
the  kings  and  queens  are  illustrated,  these  two  pages  being  typical. 

It  is  interesting  to  note  how  the  portraits  on  Plate  79  follow  the  con- 
ventional types. 

The  book  is  one  of  the  most  interesting  I  know  of  relating  to  English 
history,  and  fortunately  is  not  very  scarce.  The  third  edition  is  the  best, 
the  plates  are  in  substantially  as  good  condition  as  in  the  first  two,  and  it 
contains  many  plates  which  appear  in  it  for  the  first  time.

MEDULLA   HISTORIC  ANGLICANiE 

The  first  edition  of  this  interesting  book  was  published  anonymously  in 
1679.  Dr.  William  Howell  was  the  author.  I  have  not  seen  this  edition, 
but  I  assume  it  contains  the  frontispiece,  and  the  other  plate  reproduced  on 
Plate  81. 

The  second  edition  appeared,  likewise  anonymously,  in  1681.  It  con- 
tains the  same  frontispiece  and  a  plate  entitled  "  The  Habits  of  the  Ancient 
Britaines,"  both  engraved  by  F.  H.  van  Houe  [Hove]. 

The  third  appeared  in  1687  with  the  same  plates  as  the  second. 

The  sixth  appeared  in  1712.  The  frontispiece  is  an  emblematic  plate  by 
E.  Klrkall.  It  also  contains  a  genealogical  tree  engraved  by  Sturt,  and  a 
number  of  coarse  woodcuts.  In  this  edition  the  publisher  attributes  the 
work  to  "  Dr.  Howel "  on  the  authority  of  Anthony  Wood,  the  Oxford 
Antiquarian. 

The  twelfth  appeared  in  1766,  the  date  on  the  title  being  in  error  1666. 
It  has  the  same  frontispiece  as  the  sixth,  the  same  genealogical  table,  but 
continued  down  to  and  including  George  III,  and  a  number  of  copper- 
plates, two  to  a  page,  of  subjedls  similar  to  the  illustrations  in  the  sixth 
edition. 

I  have  not  seen  any  other  editions.  The  British  Museum  contains  none 
earlier  than  the  third.

A  SERIES  OF  ROYAL  PORTRAITS  ENGRAVED 

BY  J.  CARWITHAM 

J.  Carwitham  flourished  about  1730,  and  was  chiefly  employed  by  book- 
sellers. 

He  engraved  in  mezzotint  two  sheets  of  royal  portraits,  sixteen  on  a 
sheet,  from  William  the  Conqueror  to  George  II. 

The  size  of  the  plates  is  about   10  by  14  in.    There  are  two  states  (see 
C.  S.,  i,  136): 

I.   Before  the  address  and  engraver's  name. 

II,   After  these  were  added. 

The  first  sheet  in  the  second  state  is  reproduced  on  Plate  88. 

On  the  bottom  is  the  address  of  Richard  Caldwell,  Print  and  Mapseller, 
Warwick  Lane  in  Newgate  Street. 

It  is  interesting  to  compare  this  series  with  the  one  by  Faber  described 
on  page  185,  both  being  from  the  same  originals.

A  SERIES  OF  ROYAL  PORTRAITS  ENGRAVED 

BY  JOHN  FABER,  JR. 

John  Faber,  Jr.,  was  born  in  Holland  in   1684,  and  died  in  London  in 
1756.    His  plates  date  from  1712  to  1756. 

Among  the  large  number  he  executed  is  a  series  of  ten  sheets  of  royal 
portraits  (C.  S.,  i,  343),  which  are  described  in  Bowles's  Catalogue,  1731,  as 
follows : 

The  Ten  following  Prints  are  a  Set  of  the  Kings  of  England  from  William  the 
Conqueror,  four  heads  on  each  Plate;  they  are  very  curiously  done  by  J.  Faber;  the 
Antient  Heads  after  the  Drawings  of  Lutteril  in  crayons,  the  later  ones  after  the  best 
paintings. 

Each  plate  is  about  10  by  14  in.,  and  each  niche  about  4 J  by  6  in. 
There  are  three  states: 
I.  With  address  on  the  first  plate  of"  Mercers  Hall  in  Cheapside." 
II.  This  address  erased,  and  "  Black  Horse  in  Cornhill  "  substituted. 
III.  Last   plate   altered  as  hereinafter  described.    Also,  the  plates  are 
numbered  in  the  third  state,  and  possibly  in  the  second. 
The  heads  on  the  plates  are  as  follows : 

William  I,  II,  Henry  I,  Stephen.    (See  Plate  89.) 
Henry  II,  Richard  I,  John,  Henry  III. 
Edward  I,  II,  III,  Richard  II. 
Henry  IV,  V,  VI,  Edward  IV. 
Edward  V,  Richard  III,  Henry  VII,  VIII. 
Edward  VI,  Jane  Grey,  Mary,  Elizabeth. 
James  I  and  Anne,  Charles  I  and  Henrietta. 
Charles  II  and  Catherine,  James  II  and  Mary.

THREE   UNIDENTIFIED  SETS 

These  three  sets  are  not  in  the  British  Museum  Print  Department,  and  in 
the  Department  of  Maps  they  cannot  identify  the  first  item  without  a  fuller 
description,  which  I  am  unable  to  give. 

The  first  is  taken  from  the  catalogue  dated  1734,  issued  by  Henry 
Overton  and  John  Hoole  at  the  White-Horse  without  Newgate,  London  ;

and  Deaneries,  with  Tables  very  useful :  At  the  top  and  bottom  are  the  Heads  of  the 
Kings,  and  most  of  the  Queens  of  England.    The  whole  on  4  sheets  of  Paper.

A  letter  from  Mr.  Chamberlaine,  inserted  In  the  volume,  contams  the 

following: 

I  am  happv  to  sav  .hat  the  stile  [sic]  of  laying  them  down,  with  marpnal  lines  has 
been  much  approved'of  by  many  of  the  nobility,  &  I  shall  be  much  grat.fied  to  hear 
that  you  approve  of  the  First  Vol:  in  which  case  I  shall  m,med,atc!y  send  you  the 
second. 

The  reproduaion  does  not  do  justice  to  the  beautifully  coloured  original. 
1    have  a   memorandum   found  among  the   papers  of  the  late  Henry 
Fawcett,  Sen.  (printseller),  and  signed  by  him,  reading  as  follows: 

Pastorini  prepared  the  greater  part  of  the  Holbein's  Heads  for  Bartolozzi,  who  one 
day  finished  nine  of  them;  the  clear  profit  of  wh.ch  was  £.0.  0.  0  for  each  plate. 
This  I  also  had  from  Sherlock,  who  was  told  .t  by  Bartolozzi. 

Benedetto  Pastorini  was  an  Italian  engraver  who  resided  in  London  in 
the  latter  part  of  the  eighteenth  century,  and  was  one  of  the  governors  of 
the  Society  of  Engravers,  founded  in  1803.  He  engraved  some  plates 
(according  to  Bryan)  in  imitation  of  Bartolozzi,  and  with  his  assistance. 

A  second  series  of  the  same  portraits,  but  much  smaller  in  size,  was 
published  bv  Chamberlaine  in  18 12.  This  series  passed  through  several 
editions.  In  the  first  edition  of  this  second  series  the  portraits  are  more 
beautifully  engraved  than  the  larger  series.  The  plates  were  engraved  by 
Marie  Anne  Bourlier,  C.  Knight,  G.  S.  Facius,  R.  Cooper,  J-  M'"^^'- 
A  Cardon,  T.  Cheesman,  S.  Freeman,  H.  Meyer,  E.  Bocquet,  \N  m.  N.cholls 
and  Bartolozzi.  The  only  ones  by  Bartolozzi  are  the  two  miniatures  of 
Charles  and  Henry,  sons  of  Charles  Brandon,  Duke  of  Suffi,lk  from  the 
early  edition.    They  were  not  re-engraved  for  this  one,  the  old  plates  being 

The  complete  series  is  now  being  reproduced  under  the  diredion  ot  the 
Hon  John  W.  Fortescue,  M.V.O.,  Librarian  to  the  King,  and,  as  they  are 
exaa  facsimiles  in  every  detail,  they  arc  in  every  way  superior  to  the  two 
engraved  series. 


1799 

IMAGES  OF  SAINTS  ENGRAVED  BY 
HANS  BURGKMAIR 

This  series  is  a  setof  wood-engravings  of  images  of  saints,  male  and  female, 
related  to  the  imperial  family  of  Maximilian  I,  119  in  number,  each  about 
^  by  9!  in. 

Burgkmair  was  born  in  Augsburg  in  1473,  was  a  friend  of,  and 
tcllow-labourer  with,  Albrecht  Barer,  in  the  service  of  the  Emperor 
Maximilian. 

While  his  greatest  work  is  the  "  Triumph  of  Maximilian,"  in  135  suc- 
cessive prints,  there  are  a  number  of  other  beautiful  designs  which  must  be 
placed  to  his  credit,  including  this  set  of  saints.  It  is  probable  that,  like 
Dttrer,  he  merely  drew  the  designs  on  the  blocks,  the  adual  cutting  being 
performed  by  others. 

These  blocks  are  preserved  in  the  Imperial  Library  at  Vienna,  and  the 
series  of  prints  from  them  was  published  in  Vienna  in  1799  under  the  title 
of  Images  de^  Saints  et  Saintes  issus  de  la  Famille  de  l' Empereu?-  Maximilien  I 
.   .   .  d'apres  les  dessins  de  Hans  Burgmaire. 

The  portrait  of  Edward  the  Confessor  (which  is  typical  of  the  series)  is 
reproduced  on  Plate  95. 

The  complete  list  of  royal  English  Saints  is  as  follows: 

No.  12.   Sainte  Audry  (Ethildrite,  Ediltrude,  Elidru)  reine  de  North- 
umberland en  Angleterre. 

27.  Edgar  le  pacifique,  roi  d'Angleterre,

LATER  SERIES 

The  five  following  series  are  of  some  interest,  though  only  the  first  can  be 
considered  of  real  importance. 

I 

P.  Vanderbanck  was  born  in  Paris  in  1649  ^^^^  '^^^^  i"  Bradfield,  Hert- 
fordshire, in  1697.  He  was  a  pupil  of  Fran(;ois  de  Poilly,  under  whose 
instruction  he  became  an  eminent  artist.  He  engraved  a  series  (which  was 
afterwards  used  in  Kennett's  History  of  England)  from  William  I  to 
Elizabeth  inclusive,  the  others  to  Queen  Anne  inclusive  being  engraved  as 
mentioned  below.  With  five  exceptions  all  are  from  the  designs  of  Edward 
Lutterel,  who  was  one  of  the  earliest  engravers  in  mezzotint,  and  from 
whose  drawings  the  mezzotint  series  reproduced  on  Plates  88  and  89  were 
engraved.  The  portrait  of  Richard  III  from  this  series  is  reproduced  on 
Plate  96. 

The  engravers  were  as  follows : 

P.  Vanderbanck.    William  the  Conqueror  to  Elizabeth  inclusive. 
P.  Vanderbanck  et  M.  Vander  Gucht.  James  L 
M.  Vander  Gucht.    Charles  I,  James  II,  and  Anne. 
Trouvain.    Charles  II,  William  III,  and  Mary  II, 

All  are  after  drawings  by  Lutterel,  excepting  the  following: 

Charles  II.    I.  Ryley  pinx. 
James  II.    G.  Kneller  Eques  pinx. 
William  III.    Same. 
Mary  II.    Same. 
Anne.    Same. 

The  whole  series  (Queen  Anne  being  the  frontispiece)  is  found  in  A 
Complete  History   of  England,  with   the  Lives  of  all  the  Kings  and  ^eens

Ill 

The  third  set  was  engraved  by  Henry  Roberts,  who  was  born  in 
Devonshire  in  1725,  and  died  in  London  in  1790.  He  was  a  printseller  in 
Hand  Court,  Drury  Lane,  and  (according  to  Bryan)  mostly  confined  his 
attention  to  plates  for  which  he  might  hope  to  find  a  ready  sale  at  small 
prices.  The  portrait  of  Henry  III  reproduced  on  Plate  98  is  a  fine  print, 
notwithstanding  Bryan. 

IV 

John  Goldar  was  born  at  Oxford  in  1729  and  died  in  London  in  1795. 

He,  with  others,  engraved  a  set  of  kings  for  Harrison's  edition  of 
Rapin's  History,  which,  by  the  way,  is  generally  considered  a  very  poor  one. 

The  portrait  of  William  the  Conqueror  from  this  set  is  reproduced  on 
Plate  99.  It  is  appropriate  to  mention  here  another  book  by  Rapin,  viz., 
A5fa  Regia:  or  an  Account  of  the  'Treaties^  Letters  and  Instruments  between 
the  Monarchs  of  England  and  Foreign  Powers  ...  4  vols.,  London,  1726-7. 
It  contains  an  uninteresting  series  of  portraits  from  Henry  I  to  James  I 
inclusive,  numbered  from  3  to  24,  engraved  by  Vander  Gucht.  The  size  is 
about  3f  by  6  J  in.  I  have  not  seen  the  first  three,  which  I  assume  belonged 
to  the  set,  nor  do  I  know  where  they  first  appeared.

Charles  Grignon,  the  engraver,  was  born  in  London  of  foreign  parentage 
in  1716.    He  died  at  Kentish  Town,  near  London,  in  18 10. 

He  engraved  many  plates,  some  in  masterly  style.  Among  others  he 
engraved  a  series  of  the  English  kings  and  queens  from  William  the 
Conqueror  to  Anne  inclusive,  and  also  included  in  the  series  the  portraits 
of  Edward  the  Black  Prince,  Anne  Boleyn,  and  Cromwell. 

According  to  the  inscription  on  one  I  have  seen,  they  were  engraved  for

214  LATER  SERIES 

Sydney's  Histtry  of  England,  and  on  another,  for  Raymond's  History  of 
England,  and  also,  without  the  borders,  for  Mortimer's  History  of  England. 
The  portraits  of  William  the  Conqueror  and  Henry  VIII,  which  are  typical 
of  the  series,  are  reproduced  on  Plate  100. 

The  same  figures,  but  on  much  smaUer  plates,  were  used  in  Clarendon  s 
History,  and  they  were  copied  by  Taylor  and  Roberts  for  other  books. 

Many  other  uninteresting  series  appeared  in  the  eighteenth  and  nme- 
teenth  centuries,  usually  as  book  illustrations,  and  a  few  series  which  were 
well  engraved,  such  as  that  by  W.  H.  Worthington  published  by  William 
Pickering,  London,  1824;  but  they  are,  as  a  rule,  too  unimportant  or  too 
late  to  fall  within  the  scope  of  this  essay. 


POSTSCRIPT 
1521 

CRONICA  CRONICARUM 

After  this  volume  was  ready  for  the  press,  Messrs.  J.  and  J.  Leighton, 
London,  brought  to  my  attention  a  book  with  which  I  was  not  familiar,  and 
which  I  secured.    They  described  it  as  follows : 

CRONICA  Cronicarum  abbrege  et  mis  par  figures,  descentes  et  rondcaulx  .  .  . 
Paris,  J.  Ferrebouc  for  J.  Petit  &  F.  Regnault,  20  Sept.  1521. 

La.   fol.,  in   very  good  condition,  extraordinarily   large  size  (22x15    inches,   or 

564  X  385  mm.). 

Brunet  I.  1861.  A  remarkable  production,  reverting  to  the  early  block-book 
method  of  pasting  together  the  blank  backs  of  each  broadside  leaf  so  as  to  make  a 
continuous  book.  It  was  thus  first  issued,  the  vellum  guards  from  a  15th  cent.  MS. 
still  remaining.  [In  some  cases  it  no  doubt  was  joined  continuously  in  the  form  of  a 
roll.]  All  the  pidures  are  really  neatly  and  strikingly  coloured,  rich  pigments  being 
used,  but  the  remarkable  fad  is  that  they  have  evidently  been  stencilled  with  the 
principal  colours  such  as  yellow,  green  and  purple,  and  the  red  perhaps  afterwards 
added  with  the  brush.  It  is  still  more  curious  that  the  yellow  seems  to  have  been  applied 
before  the  printing  in  black,  as  no  part  of  that  colour  can  be  seen  to  cover  the  ordinary 
ink.  This  is  therefore  a  most  interesting  produc^tion,  as  it  shows  the  same  methods 
were  in  use  at  this  period  (and  perhaps  later)  as  were  practised  by  the  earliest  Playing 
Card  makers.  In  "  Le  Registre  des  Ans,"  A.  Couteau  for  G.  du  Pre  1532  the  cuts  are 
apparently  copied  from  the  above  book :  they  are  also  stencilled  in  colours,  but  cannot 
be  compared  for  accuracy  and  neatness  with  the  present  volume,  ;.ltIiough  the  very 
roughness  of  execution  in  the  1532  book  makes  the  process  used  more  evident  to  the 

eye. 

Gothic  letter  of  2  sizes,  large,  99  mm.  with  stroke  of  C  sloping  backwards,  large

92  lines;  small,  98  mm.  cf.  Couteau,  Le  Noir,  &c. :  sigs.  A-P,  a-r  (one  to  every  page), 
with  elaborate  borders  of  foliage  arid  figures;  92  interesting  woodcuts,  square  and 
circular,  of  Bible  scenes,  kings,  arms  and  views,  including  recognisable  views  of  Rome, 
Paris  and  London;   numerous  genealogies,  Sic. 

Neat  crible  inits.  similar  to  those  used  by  Aussourd  and  others  above,  but  not  the 
same.  Ferrebouc,  here  called  imprimeur,  "  was  certainly  just  before  and  after  1509  in 
Paris,"  according  to  Gordon  Duff,  Engl.  Prov.  Printers,  p.  58:  this  being  in  reference 
to  the  York  Manual,  printed  by  VV.  de  Worde  in  1509  for  J.  Gachet  in  partnership 
with  Ferrebouc.  Renouard  gives  F.'s  first  date  as  1492,  but  apparently  there  are  no 
hooks  known  with  his  name  before  1509. 

The  first  two  pages  or  sheets  are  reproduced  on  Plate  10 1,  considerably 
reduced.  The  reason  I  mention  this  book  is  because  it  contains  the  effigies 
of  four  British  kings.  Brute,  Arthur,  William  the  Conqueror,  and  Henry  VIII, 
with  their  genealogies. 

Brute  and  a  view  of  London  appear  at  the  bottom  of  the  ninth  page  or 
sheet.    This  is  reproduced,  considerably  reduced  in  size,  on  Plate  102. 

The  view  of  London  is  also  used  for  "  Treues  "  and  "Troye."  The 
portrait  of  Charles  V  follows  the  usual  type,  and  is  recognizable. 

The  portrait  of  Henry  VIII  is  reproduced  on  Plate  103,  the  same  size 
as  the  original.

I    561-1604 

A  SUMMARIE  OF  ENGLYSH  CHRONICLES 

BY  JOHN  Stow 

The  first  edition  of  this  book  appeared,  according  to  Lowndes,  in  1561. 
The  only  known  copy,  which  is  in  the  Grenvllle  Colledion,  lacks  the  title- 
page,  and  is  undated,  but 

by  the  last  page  but  one  of  2  Eliz.  it  seems  clear  that  this  edition  was  printed  in  1561 ; 
and  if  so,  it  is  the  original  edition,  the  existence  of  which  has  been  doubted. 

In  the  British  Museum  there  are  also  editions  of  1565  (the  earliest 
known  with  a  title-page),  1566,  1567,  1573,  1575,  1587,  1590,  1598,  and 
1604. 

The  1565,  1566,  and  1567  editions  have  printed  title-pages  without 
woodcut  borders  and  contain  no  illustrations.  Size  of  page  about  2  J  by  3^  in. 

The  title  to  the  1575  edition  Is  surrounded  by  a  narrow  woodcut  border, 
and  this  edition  is  Important,  as  it  contains  portraits  from  William  the 
Conqueror  to  Mary  I  inclusive,  from  the  same  blocks  as  used  InWalsingham's 
and  Hollnshed's  Chronicles  (see  Plates  16,  17,  and  20),  but  not  always 
representing  the  same  person.  For  instance,  the  portrait  of  Duke  Richard  I 
on  Plate  16  is  now  used  for  William  the  Conqueror,  and  this  is  of  special 
Interest,  as  this  type  was  frequently  thereafter  used  for  William  the  Con- 
queror (see  Plates  32  and  46).  The  page  from  Stow  showing  this  portrait 
is  reproduced  on  Plate  104  the  same  size  as  the  original. 

The  title-page  to  the  1587  edition  is  of  Interest  as  the  woodcut  border 
contains  a  reclining  effigy  of  Henry  VIll,  from  whom  springs  a  rose  tree 
which  extends  up  both  sides  of  the  title  and  terminates  in  the  portraits  of

THE  CHRONICLES  OF  ENGLAND  FROM  l^RUl  E 
VNTO    FHIS  PRKSFNl   YEARE  OF  C:HRIST 

15^0.      CoLLECTM)    i:V    loMN   Stovv. 

The  title-page  to  this,  the  first,  edition  of  Stow's  Chronicles  is  reproduced 
on  Plate  106,  the  same  size  as  the  original.  The  same  woodcut  border  was 
used  in  the  1 60c  and  1601  editions,  and  possibly  in  those  of  1592  and  1605, 
but  this  I  have  not  been  able  to  verify. 

The  portraits  are  mostly  from  the  same  blocks  as  in  the  1575  edition  of 
Stow's  Summarie.    William  the  Conqueror,  however,  is  different  from  any 
other  portrait  of  that  monarch   which    I    know  of,  and  is  reproduced  on 
Plate  107  the  same  size  as  the  original. 

The  portrait  of  William  the  Conqueror  as  used  in  Holinshed  (Plate  20) 
Is  now  Edward  I,  while  the  one  used  in  the  1575  edition  of  the  Summarie 
does  not  appear. 

The  last  three  portraits  are  quite  different  from  the  others,  viz.: 
Edward  \'I,  Mary,  and  Elizabeth,  that  of  Edward  \'I  being  reproduced  on 
Plate  108.  Those  ot  Mary  and  Elizabeth  are  about  the  same  size  as  that  of 
Edward  \'I  and  the  same  quality. 

The  163 1-3:  edition  ot  Stow's  Chronicles  is  a  large  folio  without 
illustrations,  but  the  title-page  is  interesting.  The  size  of  the  page  is 
q  by  lyl  in.  This  title  is  reproduced  on  Plate  109,  so  it  is  not  necessary 
to  describe  it.  The  reason  tor  its  inclusion  is  because  it  completes  this  brief 
survey  ot  the  royal  portraits  appearing  in  Stow's  important  contributions  to 
British  history.  A  similar  title-page  was  used  in  the  16  15  edition,  but  the 
portraits  are  Anne  of  Denmark  in  place  of  Mary  (Henrietta  Maria),  King 
James  in  place  ot  King  Charles,  and  I^ri nee  Charles,  King  James's  son,  is 
different  trom  the  Prince  Charles,  son  of  Charles  I,  in  the  1631  edition.
